Are buffers weak acids that can react with the strong acids to prevent sudden changes in pH?

A buffer solution might be acidic, alkaline or even neutral. The only special feature of these solutions is the resistance of buffers to change their pH value.
Let us consider the acetic buffer, which is acidic, and made out of acetic acid and sodium acetate. When little alkali is added, it would be neutralized by the protons from the acid and become to a new equilibrium to cancel the effect of alkali. When a little acid is added, the protons in the added acid along with the acetate ions in the buffer, would make acetic acid molecules and achieve a new equilibrium.
This aspect can be easily understood by the Le Chatelier's Principle.

Weak acids or bases that prevent sudden changes in pH?
Buffers
What stops sudden changes in ph?
A buffer solution.
How do buffers reduce changes in pH when hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions are added to a solution?
Buffer solutions act as neutralizing agents that contain both positive and negative ions of a weak acid. Thus, if a base such as NaOH is added to the solution, the positive H+ ions will react with the negative (OH-) ions to neutralize the solution. Similarly, if an acid is added to the buffer, the negative ions (such as OH- or C2H3O2-) will react with the hydronium ions to neutralize the solution.

What keeps blood pH relatively constant?
The level of pH (potential of Hydrogen) is very important for maintaining our lives and well-being. For example, the normal pH for our blood is between 7.35-7.45 (an average of 7.4), any deviation from this very small range could mean serious trouble. For this reason we emply buffer systems. Buffer is a substance that counteracts changes to the pH level. Examples for the buffer systems are: - Phosphate buffers - bicarbonate buffers - protein buffers (like haemoglobin).

True or false Buffers are weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sudden changes in pH?
Yes if u add 2 acids or bases or and acid and base together if both contain acids or bases it creates a poisounos gas that can kill or knock you out and will make pH higher. Dont try it though buy pH paper and use on ammonia ammonia is about a 11-12 on pH scale its very powerful. that was extra but yes it can cause sudden change matter what acids or bases you combine it with.
