Buffer solutions are liquids that maintain a stable pH value even when acids or bases are added. They consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or vice versa).

Why are they needed?

  • Calibration of measuring devices: For accurate pH measurements.
  • Environmental analysis: To monitor the pH of water samples.
  • Food industry: To control the pH in food products.
  • Pharmaceutical applications: To produce stable medications.
  • Laboratories and research: To maintain consistent pH conditions in experiments.

Buffer solutions are crucial for keeping the pH constant and ensuring precise measurements and processes.
