A buffer is unique due to its ability to maintain a relatively stable pH level when small amounts of an acid or base are added. This capacity arises from the presence of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid) in equilibrium, which can neutralize added hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions. This property is crucial in biological and chemical systems where pH stability is essential for maintaining proper functioning.
