68 f. Buffers When an acid or base is added to water, the pH changes drastically. to a buffer solution, the pH is maintained; pH does not change.

69 Buffers resist changes in pH from the addition of acid or base. in the body, absorb H 3 O + or OH - from foods and cellular processes to maintain pH. are important in the proper functioning of cells. in blood maintain a pH close to 7.4. A change in the pH of the blood affects the uptake of oxygen and therefore cellular processes. Buffers

70 A buffered solution contains a combination of acid-base conjugate pairs. may contain a weak acid and a salt of its conjugate base. typically has equal concentrations of a weak acid and its salt. may also contain a weak base and a salt of the conjugate acid. Components of a Buffer

71 In the acetic acid/acetate buffer with acetic acid (CH 3 COOH) and sodium acetate (CH 3 COONa) The salt produces acetate ions and sodium ions. CH 3 COONa(aq) CH 3 COO - (aq) + Na + (aq) The salt is added to provide a higher concentration of the conjugate base CH 3 COO - than the weak acid alone.
