Question

The mineral iron-wustite is an example of the “redox” type of these substances. Tricine and bicine were included in a list of twenty of these substances (-5[1])by Norman Good which (15[1])judged their biochemical inertness and optical absorbance. These (-5[1])substances only function in a window (15[1])size known as their namesake (*) capacity. Carbonic acid and bicarbonate (10[1])ions (10[1])form (10[1])one of these substances in the blood. (10[2])The Henderson-Hasselbach (10[2])equation is used to calculate (10[1])the pH of these substances, since they’re made up of a (-5[1])weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa. For 10 points, name these substances which resist change in pH. (10[1])■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: buffers [or buffer solutions or buffering agents; accept Good’s buffers or hydrogen ion buffers]
