The Answer is D cause of the people going back and forth.
Answer:
lol I hate chemical but let me give some advice
Explanation:
Please go on Khan Academy or look at your notes and I promise you can figure out! Seriously, I am trying to be helpful not like the annoying teacher that says "figure it out"
Explanation:
Ions are always formed when metals and non-metals interact because metals are electropositive. They willing release electrons to non-metals that are electronegative.
This activity results in charge separation. The transfer of electrons from one specie to another is what results in an ionic bond and the precedence of charged particles.
Between non-metals, the electrons are jointly shared. Therefore, there is no charge separation.

∴

We cannot ignore it in comparison with 0.05, so we must solve a quadratic.

log

[

The concentration of

in the buffer is 0.16 mol/L.
hope this helps :)
