NO. A buffer donates H+ ions when conditions become too basic and accepts H+ ions when conditions become too acidic. So it donates H+ not OH-

What is an acid an alkali and neutral?
Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions. Neutral: A substance that cannot donate H+ or OH- ions.
A solution that resists changes in pH when H plus or OH- ions are added to it is called what?
buffer
Is nh3 and nh4cl a buffer?
this is buffer system consisted of a weak base and its conjugated base. NH4OH is the weak acid and the NH4Cl is the conjugated base. when an acid or a base is added in small amount the change of the pH of this solution is neglegible hence we tells that this shows a resistivity when adding an acid or a base .when an acid is added OH ions reacts and form H2O and NH4OH dissociates and give the OH ions to the solution .When an base is added NH+ ions react with OH ions added and form NH4OH which dissociates weakly to NH+ ions and OH- ions .
When a base is added to a buffered solution, the buffer will?
When small amounts of acid or base are added to a buffer solution, the buffer functions to keep the pH from changing.
What substance adds or removes Hydrogen ions from a solution?
metals and salts that precipitate it - e.g silver nitrate would remove OH ions from solution. Acids would also tend to remove OH ions from solution
When a base is added to a buffer solution the buffer will?
donate H+ ions

What is the buffer capacity of a solution of a strong base directly proportional to?
The buffer capacity of a strong base is directly proportional to the concentration of hydroyxl ions. Buffer capacity = 2.303 x [OH-]
How does soil act as a buffer?
acidity is measured in the presence of (H+) ions, whereas a base is measured in the presence of (OH) ions. soil has more (OH) ions so when an acid (such as acid rain) sifts through it, the raid becomes more neutral due to the (OH) ions canceling out the mass amounts of (H+) ions

When small amounts of acid or base are added to a buffer solution, the buffer functions to keep the pH from changing.

Do basic solution have h plus ions?
nah man. them acids has them lot. the H+ ions that is. but these basic solutions donate a massif amount of OH- ions compared to H+ ions when added to an aqueous solution.
How does a buffer works?
It bonds with the added H+ or OH- in solution.
