Buffer Solution

Introduction Buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH. Buffer solutions can occur either at acidic or basic pH. An acidic buffer solution consists of a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base, for example ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate. A basic buffer solution consists of a solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid, for example ammonia and ammonium chloride. If the added solution varies with the pH value …

…mechanism as its counterarts, H2PO4-(aq) == H+(aq) + HPO42-(aq) Conclusion Buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid or weak base and its salt in solution form. The pH of a buffer resists change when pH value tends to change slightly. Nowadays even with ever-improving manufacturing techniques, the buffer solutions are still tightly linked onto many mordern chemical industrial processes, since many of the reaction used requires a steady pH.
