Buffer solution
Solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base both at reasonable concentration will maintain a reasonably constant pH on addition of significant amounts of H3O+ or OH- ions
Unaffected by reasonable dilution
Titrations: initial pH
HA>A-
Titrations: Buffer region
A- = HA
pH = pKa
Titrations: Alkaline region
A->HA
Polar
