    The ocean contains a natural buffer system to maintain a pH between 8.1 and 8.3. [11] The oceans buffer system is known as the carbonate buffer system. [ 12 ] The carbonate buffer system is a series of reactions that uses carbonate as a buffer to convert C O 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {CO_{2}} } into bicarbonate . [ 12 ]

  3. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

    A buffer solution is a solution where the pH does not change significantly on dilution or if an acid or base is added at constant temperature. [1] Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it. Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical ...

  4. Phosphate-buffered saline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate-buffered_saline

    Add 2.84 mM of HCl to shift the buffer to 7.3 mM HPO 4 2− and 4.6 mM H 2 PO 4 − for a final pH of 7.4 and a Cl − concentration of 142 mM. The pH of PBS is ~7.4. When making buffer solutions, it is good practice to always measure the pH directly using a pH meter. If necessary, pH can be adjusted using hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide.

  5. Isohydric principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isohydric_principle

    Secondly, the pH (at equilibrium) can be calculated from an individual buffer system regardless of other buffers present. That is, in vivo, knowing the concentration of pCO 2 (weak acid) and bicarbonate (conjugate base) and the pKa of that buffer system, the pH can be calculated regardless of the presence of other contributing buffers.

    Therefore, the buffer regions will be centered at about pH 1.3 and pH 4.3. The buffer regions carry the information necessary to get the pK a values as the concentrations of acid and conjugate base change along a buffer region. Between the two buffer regions there is an end-point, or equivalence point, at about pH 3.

  7. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    The pH range is commonly given as zero to 14, but a pH value can be less than 0 for very concentrated strong acids or greater than 14 for very concentrated strong bases. [2] The pH scale is traceable to a set of standard solutions whose pH is established by international agreement. [3]

  8. MES (buffer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MES_(buffer)

    The pH (and pK a at ionic strength I≠0) of the buffer solution changes with concentration and temperature, and this effect may be predicted using online calculators. [2] MES is highly soluble in water. The melting point is approx. 300 °C. MES was developed as one of Good's buffers in the 1960s.

  9. Britton–Robinson buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britton–Robinson_buffer

    Universal buffers consist of mixtures of acids of diminishing strength (increasing pK a), so that the change in pH is approximately proportional to the amount of alkali added. It consists of a mixture of 0.04 M boric acid, 0.04 M phosphoric acid and 0.04 M acetic acid that has been titrated to the desired pH with 0.2 M sodium hydroxide. Britton ...
