Question

PLEASE HELP!!! can someone explain how buffers in our blood work i'm having serious problems understanding what happens when!?

Answer 1

buffers work in keeping Ph as neutral as possible, and this modifies it. when it starts increasing something more acidic will bring it back to neutral, and if it falls lower it will use more basic to keep it neutral. Buffers work because the concentrations of the weak acid and its salt are large compared to the amount of protons or hydroxide ions added or removed.

Answer 2

on the more chemistry side of it.

Answer 3
