Lab 16- Buffers

So in buffers, the acid and conjugate base (or vice versa) work together. The acid helps neutralizes the base, and the conjugate base helps defend against invading acids. This is similar to a lion pride. The lioness works to hunt and take care of the children; the male lion protects the home and can defend against predators. Without both the lioness and the lion working together, the pride wouldn't survive; just like when acid and conjugate bases work together to defend against acids and bases.
