Buffer solutions have constant acidity and alkalinity because:
 

1. these give unionized acid or base on reaction with added acid or alkali.
2. acid and alkali in these solutions are shielded from attack by other ions
3. they have large excess of H+ or OH- ions
4. they have fixed  value of pH

The rapid change of pH near the stoichiometric point of an acid-base titration is the basis of indicator detection. pH of the solution is related to the ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate acid (\(HIn\)) and base (\(In^–\)) forms of the indicator, as per the expression:

1. log[HIn][In]=pKInpH

2. log[HIn][In]=pHpKIn

3. log[In][HIn]= pH + pKIn

4. None of the above
