It is called a buffer. Depending on the reaction and reactants it could be any kind of acid or base that has the right characteristics to play the role of a buffer.

Why a buffer is used and the effects of a buffer on a solution?
A buffer is used to resist the change in pH when acid or alkali is added to a solution. This makes it a stable environment, eg. for enzymes. The buffer stops the pH of the solution changing too drastically.
How do cells resist oxygen toxicity?
Cells resist oxygen toxicity because of the semi permeable membrane. This controls the amount of molecules and what molecules enter the cell.
What is the function of calcium salts?
The function of calcium salts is to provide hardness and strength and resist compression.
What is an underwater vehicle built to resist pressure called?
A deep sea vessel. Examples: Alivin and Jason.
What is the bone that cannot resist strong forces but provides the only fixed support for the pectoral girdle?
Clavicle
What substance resist pH change?
A SolutionA Solutiona solution However: Mastering Biology by Pearson says that the answer is a BUFFER. Do NOT select "solution," as that is incorrect.
What name is given to substance that resist changes in pH?
A substance which resists changes in pH is called a buffer.
What is the function of a buffer?
to resist drastic changes in the pH of a solution
What is the ability of a substance to undergo or resist chemical changes?
Chemical Reactivity :)
What substance resists change in pH levels?
Buffers are solutions designed to resist changes to pH levels.
Can acetone and octane form a solution?
No. Acetone is a polar substance while octane is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances will generally resist forming a solution.
What is true about buffer solutions?
They maintain a relatively constant pH when acids or bases are added. Buffers are substances that minimize changes in the concentrations of H+ and OH- in a solution. Buffers do so by accepting hydrogen ions from the solution when they are in excess and donating hydrogen ions to the solution when they have been depleted.
What do you call these substances in biological fluids that can resist changes in pH by accepting h ions when they are in excess and donating h when they are depleted?
buffer solution
Which property of objects causes them to resist changes to their motion?
Inertia is an objects ability to resist motion. I think of inertia as an object's' mass (different from weight). Newton's second law (F = mass times acceleration) describes the interaction between force and an objects ability to resist motion.
What is the functions of buffer?
to resist drastic changes in the pH of a solution
All objects resist changes in?
acceleration.
What are compounds that resist changes in pH?
A buffer resists pH change.
