Best Answer

A buffer helps prevent radical changes in pH of a solution by providing a means for which an acid or base that may find its way into the solution to be able to react. Buffers are made up or strong or weak acids and their salts. Together in aqueous solution, their pH will remain relatively the same despite adding acid or base. However once the buffer has fully reacted in either direction, the pH will then be subject to radical shifts in value.
