What are weak acids or weak bases that can react with strong acids or bases to keep the pH?

Solutions containing these mixtures are called buffers.


How do buffers help to stabilize blood pH levels?

Buffers help to stabilize blood pH levels by acting as a reservoir for hydrogen ions. When there is an increase in hydrogen ions, buffers can absorb them to prevent a drastic change in pH. Conversely, when there is a decrease in hydrogen ions, buffers can release them to maintain a stable pH level in the blood.


Why are buffers useful?

to maintain the pH


How is the pH level of a substance affected by buffers and why are buffers important in the human body?

Buffers "slow" changes in pH (they make it difficult to change pH), and for animals a constant pH (internally) is critical to survival. (A change in pH of 1 - in either direction - will kill you.)


What is the function of buffers in maintaining pH balance in a solution?

Buffers help maintain pH balance in a solution by resisting changes in pH when acids or bases are added. They do this by accepting or donating hydrogen ions to keep the pH stable.


What is the role of buffers in the human body systems?

Buffers resist pH changes in cell cytoplasm, and in extracellular fluids.


How does temperature affect solute?

acidic buffers increase pH as temperature increases, basic buffers decrease pH as temperature increases I am still searching for the reason.


Why are buffers important for maintaining aquarium life?

Buffers are important because they control the PH or "acidic" balance.


What is the chemical substance that resists change in pH?

A buffer solution is a chemical substance that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Buffers are made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid, which work together to maintain the pH of a solution.

Do buffers release H plus ions when pH increases?

Yes, buffers can release or absorb H+ ions to help maintain a relatively stable pH when an acid or base is added. When the pH of a solution increases, some buffers can release H+ ions to counteract the change and prevent a drastic shift in pH.
