I have a homework in Biology and this is one of the questions. Can you help me answer it?How do buffers reduce changes in pH when hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions are added to a solution?
Buffers are weak acids and their bases. When you add an acid, you change the base to the weak acid. When you add base, you change the acid to the weak base. There is a limit to their buffering capacity depending on the concentration of the buffer.
