    To understand how buffers use reserves of conjugate acid and conjugate base to counteract the effects of acid or base addition on pH. A buffer is a mixture of a conjugate acid-base pair. In other words, it is a solution that contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. For example, an acetic acid buffer consists of acetic acid, CH3COOH, and its conjugate base, the acetate ion CH3COO−. Because ions cannot simply...

    please help l, will rate! thabk you!! Why does a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base act as a better buffer than does a solution of the weak acid alone? The presence of both the acid and the base provides a significant concentration of both an acid and a base, making it harder to change the pH A solution of a weak acid alone has no base present to absorb added acid. The presence of both the...

    A buffer is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions when acid is added to a solution. converts excess hydrogen ions into hydroxide ions to maintain pH. releases hydrogen ions if a solution becomes too acidic. absorbs hydrogen ions if a solution becomes too basic.
