Introduction Buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH. Buffer solutions can occur either at acidic or basic pH. An acidic buffer solution consists of a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base, for example ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate. A basic buffer solution consists of a solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid, for example ammonia and ammonium chloride.

The pH of a buffer resists change when pH value tends to change slightly. Nowadays even with ever-improving manufacturing techniques, the buffer solutions are still tightly linked onto many mordern chemical industrial processes, since many of the reaction used requires a steady pH.
