Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A(n) ____ is added to neutralize acids.
A
buffer
B
sucrose solution
C
pH probe
D
heat source
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, when NaOH is added, the number of acetic acid molecules in the solution will decrease, but the number of acetate molecules in the solution will increase. In this case, 0.01 moles of acetic acid will be used up to neutralize the 0.01 moles of OH–, and this will form 0.01 moles of acetate ion in the solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Buffer solutions maintain a stable pH by neutralizing added acids or bases. They consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base, which exchange protons and hydroxide ions to form water. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation expresses the pH as a function of the PKa and the ratio of the base and acid concentrations.
