A solution that reacts with acids and bases to prevent sudden pH changes
Real World Example
Imagine you're at a party where the music suddenly changes from a soothing melody to a blaring rock song, disrupting the relaxed atmosphere. Just as a DJ skillfully transitions between tracks to maintain a balanced vibe, a buffer solution manages the addition of acids or bases to stabilize pH levels in a solution. In this analogy, the DJ is like the buffer, the music tracks are like the acids and bases, and the party atmosphere represents the pH level, highlighting how a buffer maintains equilibrium just as a DJ keeps the party mood consistent.
