15. buffer
    pH buffer; buffer solution. A solution that can maintain its pH value with little change when acids or bases are added to it. Buffer solutions are usually prepared as mixtures of a weak acid with its own salt or mixtures of salts of weak acids. For example, a 50:50 mixture of 1 M acetic acid and 1 M sodium acetate buffers pH around 4.7.

16. buffer
    Buffer is a solution designed to maintain a constant pH when small amounts of a strong acid or base are added. Buffers usually consist of a fairly weak acid and its salt with a strong base. Suitable concentrations are chosen so that the pH of the solution remains close to the pKa of the weak acid.

    A system that acts to minimize the change in concentration of a specific chemical species in solution against addition or depletion of this species. pH buffers: weak acids or weak bases in aqueous solution. The working range is given by pKa +/- 1. Metal ion buffers: a metal ion chelator eg. EDTA, partially saturated by the metal ion acts, as a buffer for the metal ion.
