Is buffer solution an acid or a base?

A buffer solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, which helps resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Therefore, a buffer solution contains both acid and base components.


A solution of a base differs from a solution of an acid in that the solution of a base contains what?

A solution of a base contains hydroxide (OH-) ions, while a solution of an acid contains hydronium (H3O+) ions. Bases typically feel slippery and taste bitter, while acids tend to taste sour.

What two components make up a buffered solution?

A buffered solution is made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid). These components work together to maintain the pH of the solution by resisting changes in acidity or basicity when small amounts of acids or bases are added.
