Buffer and its mechanism of action?
A buffer solution works under the combined principle of common ion effect and Le Chatelier's principle
What are physiologically important buffers?
An important physiological buffer is the Digestive System's Bicarbonate Buffer System: CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = H+ + HCO3- The bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is made by the pancreas. This is one of the pancrea's many exocrine functions. The bicarbonate helps to counteract the HCl released into the stomach thus maintaining the pH balanced.
Will the pH of a buffer solution be higher or lower than the pH of a weak acid?
The pH of buffer solution will be higher (Less acidic) than the corresponding acid because the common ion effect in buffer mixture suppressed the ionization of acid.
Why buffer used in mobile phase?
buffers in terms of chemistry is that which resists the pH of solution.and maintain H+ ion conc
What is a chemical compound that helps control the pH of a solution by adding or removing hydrogen ions is a(n)?
Buffer
What ion in seawater serves as a buffer?
HCO3-
What is an important blood buffer produced from carbon dioxide?
I need to know the important blood buffer produced from carbon dioxide.
Is the most important buffer system present in blood?
the bicarbonate ion

The name given to a chemical system that prevent changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A buffer
A substance that helps to keep a stable pH in a solution is called a?
A substance that helps to maintain a specific pH is called a "Buffer" it can be either acidic or alkaline depending on the purpose and what needs to be buffered.
What is the purpose of the buffer in PCR?
The purpose of the buffer in PCR, I assume you talking about the 5 or 10 times PCR buffer that is provided with enzyme. Buffer is needed to give the correct pH and pottasium ion concentration for the DNA polymerase enzyme (usually DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus) to function.

How does the way a buffer stabilizes pH during addition of acid differ from the way the same buffer stabilizes pH during addition of base?
H+ and OH- ion responsible for acidic and basic behaviour are consumed by oppositely charged ions present in buffer solution to form a weak acid or base which is not much efficient to release H+ or oH- ion so pH does not change. But this happens only when strong acid or base is added to buffer in small amount.
Why buffer used in mobile phase?
buffers in terms of chemistry is that which resists the pH of solution.and maintain H+ ion conc
What charge does ion lithium have?
A Lithium ion has a charge of plus one. Hope this helps!
