when buffers react with h+ or oh-, do the ratio of conjugate base to acid and the ph of the solution change? why?
Consider an acid buffer solution 
Added
ions react
with
ions to form HA. HA
is a weak acid and dissociates to a very small extent.

In this process, added
ions are
consumed. Hence, pH is not significantly affected. There is very
small pH change.

Since,
ions are consumed
and HA is formed due to reaction of added
ions, the
ratio
is
significantly affected but the term
is slightly affected as the log term has small value. Hence, pH is
little changed.

To understand how buffers use reserves of conjugate acid and conjugate base to counteract the effects of acid or base addition on pH. A buffer is a mixture of a conjugate acid-base pair. In other words, it is a solution that contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. For example, an acetic acid buffer consists of acetic acid, CH3COOH, and its conjugate base, the acetate ion CH3COO−. Because ions cannot simply...

is a solution that resists changes in pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to best buffer solutions are prepared from weak acids and their conjugate base added as a sodium of potassium salt. Most biological systems must maintain a very narrow range of pH; therefore, buffers allow the biological solution to function correctly. Blood is a good example of a biological system that must maintain a pH in a very narrow range from 7.3 to...

However if a large amount of acid or base is added, the buffer will cease to work and a large pH change...
Buffers work best when O the ratio of H+ to OH is close to 1.0 O nearly all of the buffer molecules are dissociated. the pH is nearly neutral O nearly all of the buffer molecules are undissociated. O about half of the buffer molecules are dissociated.
