This is because the base can neutralize the acid faster than a base
a base
The pH lowers from around 14 to a lower number as acid is added.
Buffers contain both one weak acid and its coupled weak base, that can not react with each other (they are a so-called conjugated system). When you add strong acid it will react with the base part of this buffer, when strong base (hydroxide) is added it will react with the acid.
If you add the same quantity of an acid and a base it will become neutral.i.e forms salt and water
Requirements for a Buffer Solution:There are three requirements for buffer:• Must be a mixture of weak acid and its salt or weak base and its salt• A buffer must contain relatively large concentration of acid to react with added base (OH-) and also must contain similar concentration of base to reaction with added acid (H+).• The acid and base components of the buffer must not consume each other in a neutralization reaction.

Acid is neutralized when it is added to an equal amount of base.
This is a neutralization reaction.

The acid and base will neutralize each other and the resulting solution will be more neutral. If the base being neutralized is strong, the resulting salt will be neutral. If the base is weak the resulting salt will be acidic. A solution of such a salt may be called a buffer.
A base is neutralized adding an acid, not another volume of a base.
CH3CH3 is not a base, acid or a salt. The answer would be other. It is ethane.
