The pH ( or the concentration of H+ ions) of the medium.
A buffer is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it and thus it is used to prevent any change in the pH of a solution . Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical applications.
Many life forms thrive only in a relatively small pH range so they utilize a buffer solution to maintain a constant pH. One example of a buffer solution found in nature is blood.

What two organs are most important to physical buffer systems?
buffer systems function mainly to regulate the acid or base balance in the body. there are 3 principal classes of buffers in the body - proteins, phosphate buffer system and the bicarbonate buffer system. however, you are asking of the organs involved. these are the kidneys and the lungs.
What two factors are involved in determining the exact pH of a buffer?
The molarity of the buffer and the hydrogen concentration of the buffer.
What is the difference between a concentrated buffer and a diluted buffer?
The concentration.
What are the three buffer systems?
the three buffer systems are NaHC03 The 2 other buffer systems are H2C03 and HC03 . THANK YOU !
What is the principle buffer in the body?
A buffer is something that regulates or maintains the pH in the body. In the human body, carbonate is the main buffer in the blood and phosphate is the main buffer within cells.
What is the most potent of all mechanisms the body uses to regulate blood pH?
The buffer system
Role of EDTA in lysis buffer?
to inhibit divalent cation-dependent proteases
How does the ocean regulate earths temperature?
Water has a much higher specific heat (what's that?) than Earth (as in rocks or sand). Therefore, the ocean acts as a buffer (the land gets colder and hotter).

What is pinned buffer in oracle?
The buffer is in used is called as pinned buffer
What is a chief function of carbonic acid in the body?
A chief function of carbonic acid in the body is to regulate blood pH. It acts as a buffer system, helping to maintain the acid-base balance. Carbonic acid can dissociate into bicarbonate ions, which act as a pH buffer by accepting or donating hydrogen ions as needed to maintain the pH within a narrow range.
What do you mean by voltage buffer?
A voltage buffer is a circuit that will buffer a source from an output.
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.
Is a chemical or combination of chemicals that keeps pH within normal range?
A buffer. just got the answer correct on a bio exam
Is HCl a pH buffer?
No, it is not a buffer.
What is buffer P2?
The composition of Buffer P2 is:200 mM NaOH1% SDS (w/v)Buffer P2 is the lysis buffer
What is pseudo buffer?
a solution which does not fulfills the property of a buffer solution but act as buffer solution.
