Answer: 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.
Answer:
c. suggesting a solution to a problem after studying it carefully
Explanation:
Hypothesis generally refers to an assumption made. This assumption can either be true or false. It is a reasoning presented in order to explain a phenomenon and is the starting point for further investigation.
Among the options, the closest that best describes it is option C.
Answer:
B is the answer because it doesn't matches the num of valence electrons
In general when you heat up a liquid such as water its volume "increases" as the heat energy causes the water molecules to move leading to more space between molecules causing it to occupy a larger volume.
hope that helps
In an exothermic reaction, heat is produced along with products. But in endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed. If the number of products is less than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction will be exothermic. If the number of products is more than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction is endothermic.
