Good's Buffer Solutions
Good's buffer solutions are specially prepared mixtures that help maintain a stable pH in biological and chemical experiments. They contain a weak acid and its conjugate base (or vice versa), which work together to resist changes in acidity when small amounts of acids or bases are added. Named after biochemist Norman Good, these buffers are crucial for preserving the consistent chemical environment needed for accurate laboratory results and biological processes. They ensure that reactions occur under controlled pH conditions, making experiments more reliable and reproducible.
