What is a substance that resists a pH change when small amounts of acid or base are added?
buffer
When a base is added to a buffered solution, the buffer will?
When small amounts of acid or base are added to a buffer solution, the buffer functions to keep the pH from changing.
Why might a chemist add a buffer to a solution?
The buffer can keep the pH stable when small amounts of acid or base are added. - NOVA
A solution that resists changes in pH when limtied amounts of acids or bases are added?
chemical buffer
A solution that is resistant to change in pH?
Solutions that resist change in pH when added to a strong acid or base are known as buffer solutions.

When small amounts of acid or base are added to a buffer solution, the buffer functions to keep the pH from changing.
What is the substance that neutralizes small amounts of acid or bases added to a solution?
Acids are added to neutralize base and inverse; a buffer only stabilizes the pH.

chemical buffer
A small amount of acid is added to a buffer solution the pH of the solution will?
A small amount of acid is added to a buffer solution. The pH of the solution will stay about the same.
What does a buffer do?
It resists a change in pH when H+ or OH- is added to a solution
A solution that is resistant to change in pH?
Solutions that resist change in pH when added to a strong acid or base are known as buffer solutions.
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.
What is buffer capacity and what are the factors that effect the buffer capacity?
it is defined the capability of a buffer to resist the change of pH.it can be measured quantity that how much extra acid or base , the solution can absorb before the buffer is essentially destroyed. buffer capacity of a buffer solution is determined by the sizes of actual molarities . so , a chemist must decide before making the buffer solution.
What happens to pH when NaOH is added to buffer?
Quantity matters. If there is a lot of buffer (in terms of moles) and relatively little NaOH then the buffer will prevent any change in pH. If there is relatively more NaOH than buffer, then of course the pH will rise.
Describe a solution that contains a buffer?
Acetic acid is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change. Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change.
