In some solutions, the concentration of $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}$ remains constant even when small amounts of strong acid or strong base are added to them. These solutions are known as:
  1. Ideal solutions
  2. Colloidal solutions
  3. True solutions
  4. Buffer solutions

Solution

Solutions which resist the change in the value of $\mathrm{pH}$ when small amount of acid or base is added to them are known as buffers.
