The pH of a solution describes its acidity or alkalinity
Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) is a commonly used buffer for experiments in biology because its pH and ion concentrations are similar to those in mammalian organisms. It works in a similar fashion to the blood plasma buffer mentioned in the textbook, but using dihydrogen phosphate ions and hydrogen phosphate ions for buffering through the following chemical reaction: H2PO4- (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + HPO42--(aq)
