Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is true about a buffer solution?
  • Step 1: Understand what a buffer solution is. A buffer solution is a special type of solution that can maintain a stable pH level.
  • Step 2: Learn that pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. A lower pH means more acidic, and a higher pH means more basic.
  • Step 3: Know that when you add a small amount of acid (which lowers pH) or base (which raises pH) to a buffer solution, it doesn't change the pH much.
  • Step 4: Realize that this ability to resist changes in pH is what makes buffer solutions important in many chemical and biological processes.
