Buffer solutions

A buffer solution is a solution that has the ability to resist the pH change of the solution because it either contains a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

Examples of naturally containing buffer solution is the blood which contains bicarbonate as a buffering system that maintains its pH.

In the lake, there are presence of shoreline buffer which is a strip of natural vegetation along the shoreline of a lake. It creates a natural buffer system that helps resist the acidifying effect of additional acid rainfall.

Therefore, the water at the nearest lake is a good buffer than water from the tap.
