Answer:
The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.
Explanation:
The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.
Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.
Answer: Too much base was added

Answer:
- What distinguish a solution in general from an aqueous solution is the solvent. A solution in general may contain any solvent, which may be solid, liquid or gas, while an aqueous solution is formed with water as solvent.
Explanation:
A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture in which a substance, named solute, is dissolved, in other substance, name solvent.
Solutions may be in solid, liquid or gas state. There are many kind of solvents. Usually, in a lab you work with liquid solutions. Some liquid solvents are: ethanol, glycerin, hexane, benzene, and water, among many others.
Aqueous solution is a solution where the solvent is water. Of course, the solute may be any one: NaCl, sugar, ethanol, an acid, a base, a salt.
What distinguish a solution in general and an aqueous solution is the solvent.
