How does the way a buffer stabilizes pH during addition of acid differ from the way the same buffer stabilizes pH during addition of base?

H+ and OH- ion responsible for acidic and basic behaviour are consumed by oppositely charged ions present in buffer solution to form a weak acid or base which is not much efficient to release H+ or oH- ion so pH does not change. But this happens only when strong acid or base is added to buffer in small amount.

What is true when a buffer is formed during a titration?
There are nearly equal amounts of a conjugate acid-base pair.
What does extraction buffer do?
The most likely function of the extraction buffer would be to maintain an isotonic environment that favors the stability of the protein. An isotonic solution mimics the ionic environment if the cell and therefore would keep the protein in a stable form during the process of extraction. Proteins undergo changes in different ionic environments (different pH's) and it is essential to keep them in a stable form.
How does the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to produce energy in a fuel cell differ from their interaction during the direct combustion of hydrogen and oxygen?
It is much easier to control the hydrogen and oxygen during direct combustion than during their reaction in a fuel cell.
What is buffer?
To maintain constant the pH of a solution.
Why is HCl not produced during chloride shift in bohr effect?
The Cl- entering the RBC from the chloride shift does not combine with free H+ ions to form HCl because those H+ ions bind with hemoglobin instead. As such, hemoglobin acts as a buffer.

What types of buffer are used for hplc?

What is the role of glycerol in the lysis buffer?
To protect protein during thawing and freezing
What is a buffer tank in wastewater plant?
A buffer tank adds carbon dioxide to wastewater. How much carbon dioxide is added and dissolved in the water affects the pH. In short, a buffer tank is used to adjust the pH of water during treatment.
What is function of Buffer AP1 in DNA extraction?
The buffer AP1 is vital in DNA extraction as it acts as a cleanser to break up the lipids surrounding the cellular membrane. The buffer also maintains the right environment for the DNA so it is not damaged during the extraction process.
