How does buffer work to moderate pH in a system

Expert Solution

Step 1

In Simple words, the buffer can be defined as an aqueous solution that can prevent significant changes in pH levels on upon the addition of a small amount of acid or alkali. The characterization of each buffer can be done on the basis of the quantity of strong acid or base that is required to bring down the change in pH of one liter of the solution. Before pH begins to change the amount of acid or base can be added.
