The addition of a buffer to the solution does not alter the way it reacts to addition of CO2. Do you support or refute this claim?

Evidence:

If you refute the claim, rewrite it so that it is consistent with your evidence.

A buffer solution is a water-based solution with a stable pH. It is made by mixing a large volume of a weak acid or weak base with its conjugate base or acid. When you add small quantities of an acid or alkali (base) to it, its pH does not change significantly. In other words, the buffer solution stops the acid and base from neutralizing each other.
