- ✓these give unionised acid or base on reaction with added acid or alkali
- Bacids and alkalies in these solutions are shielded from attack by other ions
- Cthey have large excess of $H^+$ or $OH^-$ ions
- Dthey have fixed value of $pH.$
$\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}+\mathrm{A}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{HA}$
$\mathrm{OH^-}+\mathrm{HA} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{A}^{-}$
If acid is added, it reacts with $A^-$ to form undissociated $HA$. Similarly, if base/alkali is added, $OH^-$ combines with $HA$ to give $H_2O$ and Aand thus, maintains the acidity/alkalinity of buffer solution.
