Question

What is the purpose of a buffer?

Answer 1

Answer: A buffer solution is a solution made to prevent the pH level of something from changing when you add a base or an acid to it. For example, if you put a buffer solution in a pool, and then you put chlorine in it, the chlorine's effect on the PH level will be suppressed.

Answer 2

The main purpose of a buffer solution is just to resist the change in pH so that the pH of the solution won't be much affected when we add an acid or base into it. The added acid or base is neutralized.
