Dissolved compound that prevents sharp swings in pH?

A buffer solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base which can absorb excess H+ ions to prevent sharp swings in pH. Buffer solutions are commonly used in biological systems to maintain a stable pH environment.

What are the different types of titration curves and how do they vary in terms of their shapes and characteristics?

There are three main types of titration curves: strong acid-strong base, weak acid-strong base, and weak acid-weak base. Strong acid-strong base titration curves have a sharp and steep pH jump at the equivalence point. Weak acid-strong base titration curves have a gradual pH change around the equivalence point. Weak acid-weak base titration curves have a more complex shape with multiple equivalence points.
