Buffering is the action of resisting changes in pH when small amounts of acid
or base are introduced into solution.
Consider buffered aspirin-- the buffers that are added are supposed
(at least the drug marketing people want you to believe) to protect your
digestive tract lining from the acidic nature of the salicylic acid.
>>From the depths of ignorance, however, I must ask: what is buffering?
