Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Abuffer is defined as the solutionthatresists any change in the pH (potential of hydrogen) of the solution. It is composed of a weak acid andits conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. The important buffers in the human body are phosphate buffer, protein buffer, and carbonate buffer. These are also known as physiological buffers. Any acid or base present in its aqueous (aq) solution liberates its respective ions after dissociation. Strong acids dissociate strongly, while weak acids dissociate poorly.
