Buffer solutions consist of an aqueous solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Buffer solutions are used to have better control of the pH of solutions.

An example of a weak acid and its conjugate base is acetic acid (CH3COOH) and sodium acetate (CH3COONa).
