Answer:
Lower the pH slightly
Explanation:
A buffer is defined as the mixture between weak acid and conjugate base. In the problem, acetic acid is the weak acid and sodium acetate the conjugate base.
When a strong acid as perchloric acid is added to a buffer, <em>the pH decreases slightly</em> because the acid reacts with conjugate base producing weak acid and not affecting directly the concentration of H⁺ ions.
Answer: There is a single covalent bond in a chlorine molecule.
Explanation: The chlorine molecule is represented as Cl−Cl, i.e. C
l2. Between the chlorine atoms, 2 electrons overlap to form a region of high electron density to which the positively charged chlorine nuclei are attracted, such that internuclear repulsion is negated and a net attractive force results. Because the bonding electrons are shared between the nuclei, we conceive that each atom has 8 valence electrons.
Of course, on reaction with sodium, the sodium reduces the chlorine molecule to give 2×Cl−. The resultant bond between Na+ and Cl−is ionic and a non-molecular substance results.

Apple snails inhabit a wide range of ecosystems from swamps, ditches and ponds to lakes and rivers. The majority of the species prefer lentic water above streaming water and only a few species have adapted to rivers with strong current.

The lung/gills combination in apple snails reflects their adaptation to habitats with oxygen poor water. This is often the case in swamps and shallow waters. The without thelung they would completely depend on their gills, which would decrease their ability to survive.
Another advantage of air breathing in combination with a shell door (operculum) is the ability to survive periods of drought often common in these habitats during the dry season.
Answer:
The radius of an atom can only be found by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two touching atoms, and then halving that distance.
