A solution is prepared by adding 100 mL of 1.0 M HC₂H₃O₂(aq) to 100 mL of 1.0 M NaC₂H₃O₂(aq). The solution is stirred and its pH is measured to be 4.73. After 3 drops of 1.0 M HCl are added to the solution, the pH of the solution is measured and is still 4.73. Which of the following equations represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.

We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.

Thus, we can conclude that equation represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.

the food using pesticides in the future will harm you by giving you diseases like cancer or something since they have things that we should not eat in it like chemicals or pesticides. that is why organic food is more expensive because they take the time to make it right and healthy for you to eat.
