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: is neither an acid nor a base
Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.
Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.
Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.
Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.
Here water is accepting a proton, thus it acts as base.
Here water is donating a proton, thus it acts as acid.
PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula:
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case.
By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4
<span>pKa= -log(Ka)=</span><span> 3.46 </span>
<span>pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] </span>
4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF]
log [NaF / [HF]<span> = 0.59
</span>
[NaF / [HF] = 3.89
<span>This is a covalent bond, a bond in which atoms share electrons. Covalent bonding generally happens between nonmetals. Covalent bonding is the type of bond that holds together the atoms within a polyatomic ion. It takes two electrons to make a covalent bond, one from each bonding atom.
