. Answer the following questions concerning buffered solutions.
a. Explain what a buffered solution does.
b. Describe the substances that make up a buffered solution.
c. Explain how a buffered solution works.
(a)
Interpretation:
The purpose of a buffer solution should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Buffer solutions are important to living organisms whose cells are functional only in a narrow pH range. For example, pH of the human blood should be maintained between
