What term is used to describe a solution that contains a conjugate acid based pair and is resistant to large changes in ph
David C.
A(n) _______ solution contains a conjugate acid–base pair and through this is able to resist changes in its pH.

Buffered Solutions
A buffer solution: changes readily in pH upon addition of acid or base. consists of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. has a pH equal to the pKa of the weak acid that's in solution. consists of a weak acid in aqueous solution. resists changes in pH upon addition of large amounts of acid or base.
