Acetic acid, CH3COOH, and Sodium Acetate, (CH3COOH-)(Na+).
Acids are neutralized with bases and bases are neutralized with acids; buffers are useful for the stabilization of the pH of a solution. Don't confuse between (quasi)stabilization of the pH of a solution and the neutralization of a solution.
hydroxide ions(OH-)
a base!
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.

It's called a buffer solution. It's used to help maintain the same pH.
Acids are added to neutralize base and inverse; a buffer only stabilizes the pH.

The neutral point is 7,00.
conjugate acids
acids and bases when combined neutralize one another and forms salt and water.
a base!
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.
Bronsted-Lowry
They are the products of an acid-base reaction (by the Bronsted-Lowry definition). A conjugate base is what is left when an acid loses a proton (H+), for example the conjugate base of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is the bisulfate ion (HSO4-). A conjugate acid is the product of a base gaining a proton, for example the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3) is the ammonium ion (NH4+).
