Answer:
It could react with the present hydride or hydroxile ions.
Explanation:
Hello,
One the main features of buffers, is that when the acid-base conjugates are formed they could react with the added or in order to keep the pH as constant as its buffer capacity allows it.
Best regards.
A buffer solution maintains a stable pH primarily through the action of its acid-base conjugate pair reacting to counter changes, a property known as buffer capacity. High concentrations increase buffer capacity, allowing more acid or base to be neutralized. However, exceeding the buffer capacity can lead to pH changes.
The pH of a buffer solution doesn't greatly depend on the concentrations of its acid-base conjugate pair as the buffer's job is to keep the pH relatively constant. This is achieved by having appreciable amounts of its weak acid–base pair in the solution. If a strong acid or base is introduced into the system, the buffer pair reacts to counteract these changes. This is called buffer capacity.
For instance, consider a buffered solution composed of acetic acid and its conjugate base, acetate. The system can resist changes in pH upon addition of small quantities of an acid or base. This is because acetic acid and acetate can consume small additions of hydrogen ions (from an acid) or hydroxyl ions (from a base), keeping the overall pH stable.
When concentrations of the acid-base pair are high, the buffer capacity increases and hence more amounts of acid or base can be neutralized without a significant change in pH. However, there are limits to this capacity. If excessive amounts of acid or base are added, they may exceed the buffer's capacity, and its acid/base pairs will be either largely consumed or overrun, leading to changes in pH.

versus
2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O?
They are both balanced chemical equations.
The two reactions are equivalent.
The laws of thermodynamics apply to both.
Conservation of mass applies to both.
