A buffer is a solution that contains both an acid and a base. How can we prevent the acid and base from reacting with each other? O A. Since the acid is a weak acid, it will not react with the base. O B. By using an conjugate acid-base pair, we can ensure they do not react with one another. OC. The acid and base should be kept separate for as long as possible, and only mixed together at the last minute. OD. Since the solution has a very low concentration, the acid and base will not react with one another.
