A buffer system is a chemical system that can maintain a constant pH by resisting changes in the amount of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in a solution. Buffers typically consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid). The weak acid can donate a hydrogen ion to neutralize any added base, while the conjugate base can accept a hydrogen ion to neutralize any added acid. Therefore, a buffer system consists of a combination of a weak acid and its associated anion.
