As a model of the new system a prototype allows for several forms of communication. First, it allows the developers to communicate to the users their understanding of the requirements. (Obviously before a prototype can be built there must be some initial requirements discussions between developers and users).
(Arrhenius) a substance that yeilds hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution; metallic oxides in water. Buffers. substances that in solution are capable of neutralizing, within limits both acids and bases, and thereby maintaining the original or constant pH of the solution; substances that prevent changes in pH. Ex. borax, sodium phosphates, and citrates. Crystallization. the process by which a substance is given definite form.
For an individual weak acid or weak base component, see Buffering agent. For uses not related to acid-base chemistry, see Buffer (disambiguation). A buffer solution (more precisely, pH buffer or hydrogen ion buffer) is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa.uffer capacity for a 0.1 M solution of an acid with pK a of 7. Buffer capacity, Î², is a quantitative measure of the resistance of a buffer solution to pH change on addition of hydroxide ions. It can be defined as follows.
