Definition
 A buffer is a solution that can resist pH
change upon the addition of an acidic or
basic components.
TYPES OF BUFFERS:

1.ACIDIC BUFFER
2.BASIC BUFFER
Acidic Buffers:

An acidic buffer is a combination of weak acid and its salt with

a strong base.
EXAMPLES:
 CH3COOH /CH3COONA
 H2CO3/NAHCO3
 HCOOH/HCOONA
Basic Buffers:

An basic buffer is a combination of weak base and

its salt with a strong acid.
EXAMPLES:
 NH4OH/NH4CI
 NH3/NH4CI
Buffer action
1.ACIBIC Buffer: CH3COOH + CH3COONA
When H+ is added to the buffer:

CH3COOH CH3 COO - + H+

CH3COONA CH3 COO- + Na+
Acetate ion will be common
• If acid is added [H+]

H++ CH3 COO- CH3COOH

• If acid is added [OH-]

OH- + H+ H2O
2.BASIC BUFFER NH4OH+ NH4CL
NH4OH NH4+ +OH-
NH4CL NH4+ + Cl-
Ammonium ion will be common

• IF ACID [H+]

H+ + OH- H2O
• IF BASE [OH-]

NH4+ + OH- NH4OH
