In general, a buffer system can be represented by writing a salt followed by slash and an acid or conjugate base followed by slash and an acid like salt/acid or conjugate base/acid. Thus, the sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer system can be written as
CH3COONa/ CH3COOH or CH3COO-/CH3COOH
Similarly, ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer system can be represented as
NH3 / NH4+
Note that NH4+ is an acid and NH3 is a conjugate base according to Lewry-Bronsted concept.

Can be mixed in a solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?
H2CO3 is not used as buffer.
How you classify the solution as a best buffer solution?
A buffer solution is one involving a weak base/weak acid with its conjugate acid/base. In a buffer solution, the pH must be changed to only a small amount. Thus, any solution with a STRONG acid or a STRONG base is not a successful buffer solution because there would be a relatively large change in the initial pH.
Where can someone find infromatuon about buffer solution?
There are many places where one can find information about buffer solution. One can find information about buffer solution at popular on the web sources such as Chem Guide and Doc Brown.
What happens to the buffer solution pH 7 when acid is added?
When acid is added to a buffer solution at pH 7, the pH of the buffer solution will decrease. However, due to the presence of a conjugate base in the buffer solution, the buffer will resist the change in pH and try to maintain its original pH value. This is because the conjugate base will react with the acid and prevent a significant decrease in pH.
What substance resist pH change?
A SolutionA Solutiona solution However: Mastering Biology by Pearson says that the answer is a BUFFER. Do NOT select "solution," as that is incorrect.
A solution that is resistant to change in pH?
Solutions that resist change in pH when added to a strong acid or base are known as buffer solutions.
What is pseudo buffer?
a solution which does not fulfills the property of a buffer solution but act as buffer solution.
What happens when HCl is mixed with a solution that is not a buffer solution?
If the solution is not a buffer, the HCl will react with the solution to form a product.
What can destroy buffer solution?
The buffer solution is destroyed if the amount of acid or base that can be absorbed is exceded.
What is TNE buffer?
tris, EDTA (TE solution) and NaCl, TNE buffer is a buffer solution used in molecular biology, especially for DNA and RNA
What is the purpose of buffer?
Buffer Resist and Maintains the PH of the solution if there change in the environment of the solution.
When a base is added to a buffer solution the buffer will?
donate H+ ions

Substance that causes a solution to resist changes in pH?
It is called a buffer. Depending on the reaction and reactants it could be any kind of acid or base that has the right characteristics to play the role of a buffer.
