A solution to which moderate amounts of either a strong acid or base may be added without causing any large change in the pH value of the solution. Such solutions usually contain (a) a weak acid and a salt of the weak acid, (b) a mixture of an acid salt with the normal salt, or (c) a mixture of two acid salts. 5, record 1, English, - buffer%20solution

For many situations, it is desirable to maintain the H+ and OH- concentration of a water solution at low and constant values. A useful device for this is a mixture of weak acid and its anion (or of a weak base and its cation). Such a mixture is called buffer. 6, record 1, English, - buffer%20solution

Mélange de solutions dont le pH ne s'altère pratiquement pas au cours d'une dilution. On prend généralement le mélange d'un acide fort (ou d'une base forte) avec un sel organique. Toute variation du pH y provoque une réaction tendant à restaurer l'équilibre primitif. 4, record 1, French, - tampon
