They resist large and /or abrupt changes in pH. Made from a weak acid and it's conjugate base.

What type of buffers work best when managing fluctuations in demand for a product or service?

Supply chain buffers, such as inventory buffers and capacity buffers, work best when managing fluctuations in demand for a product or service. These buffers help to absorb variability and ensure that the supply chain can meet changing demand levels efficiently.


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.


Weak acid or base that prevents sharp swings in pH?

A buffer solution is a weak acid or base that helps to resist changes in pH by neutralizing small amounts of added acid or base. Buffers are made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid, which can effectively maintain a relatively stable pH.


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.


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 nested buffers?

Nested buffers refer to a situation where a system has multiple levels of buffers or storage spaces within each other. This can create a hierarchy of buffers, with data passing through multiple stages of buffering before being processed. Nested buffers are commonly used in computing systems to help manage data flow and optimize performance.


Why are buffers important for maintaining aquarium life?

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