`or components.

`Chemistry: A solution containing a weak acid and a conjugate base of this acid (or, less commonly, a weak
`base and its conjugate acid); it resists change in its pH level when an acid or a base is added to it, because
`the acid neutralizes an added base and vice versa. Also, buffer solution.

`ion concentrations and resists change in pH value.
