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 by Norman Good which judged their biochemical inertness and optical absorbance. These substances only function in a window size known as their namesake (*) capacity. Carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions form one of these substances in the blood. The Henderson-Hasselbach equation is used to calculate the pH of these substances, since they’re made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa. For 10 points, name these substances which resist change in pH. ■END■
ANSWER: buffers [or buffer solutions or buffering agents; accept Good’s buffers or hydrogen ion buffers]
