Buffers are aqueous solutions that tend to resist changes in pH when small amounts of strong acid (H+) or base (OH-) are added. Compare the changes in the pH of the resulting solution when you add 0.1 M NaOH in (a) distilled water and (b) bicarbonate solution. A) (a) and (b) solutions will have the same pH. pH change in (b) will be higher than in (a). C) No changes in pH of both solutions. D) pH change in (a) will be higher than in (b).
