Do buffers react to acids and bases to keep pH in a?
Buffers are used to maintain the pH constant.
What is the chemical substance that resists change in pH?
You think to chemical buffers.
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 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.
Why are buffers useful?
to maintain the pH
Do buffers resist change in pH?
Yes.
What do buffers prevent?
They prevent a solution from becoming too acidic or too basic. Buffers help keep the pH at a specific level. For example, the human body uses buffers to maintain a pH of 7.4-7.6.
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.
Weak acid or base that prevents sharp swings in pH?
A buffer is the substance that prevents rapid or large swings in pH. There are two types of buffers; acidic buffers and basic buffers.
Why are buffers important for maintaining aquarium life?
Buffers are important because they control the PH or "acidic" balance.
How is the pH maintained in solution?
by using buffers (if needed)
