Acids are added to neutralize base and inverse; a buffer only stabilizes the pH.

What is the role of buffering?
Buffers are chemical substances that neutralize small amounts of either an acid or a base added to a solution.
What substance forms a solution in water with a PH of 7?
Nothing because water is the only substance which has a PH of 7. Anything added to the water would change the PH unless you added pure water to it.
What happens when onel material forms a solutions with another material?
a solute and solvent are added together to form a solution. the solvent is the liquid and the solute is the substance that is dissolved by the solvent and together, they form a solution! yay!!
What is a pH indicators?
A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the solution can be determined easily. Normally, the indicator causes the colour of the solution to change depending on the pH.
What does the chemically buffered combination of strong acids that dissociate completely in water with weak bases such as hydroxides lead to?
This leads to neutral water by H+ + OH- --> H2O and neutral salt solution when added in equavalent amounts, BUT it is NOT a buffered solution.
What is a substance that neutralizes smell amounts of acids or bases added to a solution?
It's called a buffer solution. It's used to help maintain the same pH.
What is a substance that neutralizes small amounts of acids or bases?
Acids are neutralized with bases and bases are neutralized with acids; buffers are useful for the stabilization of the pH of a solution. Don't confuse between (quasi)stabilization of the pH of a solution and the neutralization of a solution.
Solution made from a weak acid and its conjugate base that neutralizes small amounts of acids or bases added to it?
Acetic acid, CH3COOH, and Sodium Acetate, (CH3COOH-)(Na+).
An unknown substance is added to a solution and the pH increases The substance is best described as what?
The unknown substance would have to be a basic solution. At least more basic than the initial solution. The pH scale ranges from 0,Most acidic, to 14, Most Basic. If the pH of your solution increases when the unknown substance is added, then it would lead you to believe that the added substance is of a basic nature.
What do the particles of sugar do when added to tea?
because of the substance causing it to do the solution
What is a substance that resists a pH change when small amounts of acid or base are added?
buffer
What best describes a buffer?
A buffer is a substance in a solution that releases and captures hydrogen ions, keeping the pH the same.Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not changeA buffer resists change in pH by accepting hydrogen ions when acids are added to the solution and donating hydrogen ions when bases are added.
A solution that resists changes in pH when limtied amounts of acids or bases are added?
chemical buffer
What is titrant and analyte?
Analyte: the substance to be analyzed by titration. Titrant: the substance (with a known concentration) added to the analyte solution to perform a titration.
The specific heat of substance A is greater than that for substance B If both sample sizes are the same and they both start at the same temperature and equal amounts of heat are added to both these s?
The specific heat of substance A is greater than that for substance B. If both sample sizes are the same and they both start at the same temperature and equal amounts of heat are added to both these samples, substance A will have a lower temperature than substance B.
What are 2 reasons that a solution gets warmer when a new substance is added?
This is the effect of the heat of dissolution.
What will happen if a highly concentrated substance is added to a solution?
It will gradually diffuse until it reaches equilibrium.
