When a buffer system buffers a basic solution,the weak acid donates a hydrogen ion to convert the hydroxide ion to water.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. A buffer system consists of a weak acid and its conjugate base. When a basic solution is added to the buffer, the weak acid donates a hydrogen ion (proton) to the hydroxide ion, forming water and the conjugate base. This helps to maintain the pH of the solution within a specific range.
