Increases to a small extent, because the buffer resists change in pH.
A buffer is a substance that can withstand a pH change when acidic or basic substances are added. Small additions of acid or base can be neutralized by it, keeping the pH of the solution largely constant. For procedures and/or reactions that call for particular and stable pH ranges, this is significant. The pH range and capacity of buffer solutions determine how much acid or base can be neutralized while pH changes and how much pH will vary. A buffer must have a weak conjugate acid-base pair, which can be either an or b, in order to successfully maintain a pH range.
