Acid base

Define acid, base, pH and buffer
pH-measure of a solutions' potential to attract Hydrogen ions.
The measure of how acidic or basic a solution is.
Base-A solution that has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) than hydrogen ions (H+).
A proton (H+) acceptor.
Acid-A solution that has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) than hydroxide ions (OH-).
A proton (H+) donor
Buffer- absorb excess H+ or OH–, keeping the pH of the body maintained in the narrow range. Carbon dioxide is a prominent buffer system in the body. It keeps the pH within proper range. The buffer system involves carbonic acid (H2CO3) and bicarbonate (HCO3–) anion. If there is too much H+ enters the body, bicarbonate will combine with the H+ to create carbonic acid and limit the decrease in pH.
