Buffer Solutions

Buffer solutions are equlibrium systems that minimise changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to the solution.
Buffer Solutions illustrate the practical importance of Le Chataliers principle. The Buffer Solution will oppose the changes being made to alter the equilibrium by either removing the excess acid or alkali to maintain a stable pH.
