Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.

Ahh I see you have forgotten pH buffering solutions.

I was more of a physics nerd. Can't say I've heard of such a thing.

Weak acids/bases tend to not fully convert their potential free ions, stabilizing at particular pHs for relatively large ranges of concentration.

You can use that as a basis for solutions that aren't super-basic but will preserve their pH in response to drips of acid.
