Answer: Hydrosphere, discontinuous layer of water at or near Earth's surface. It includes all liquid and frozen surface waters, groundwater held in soil and rock, and atmospheric water vapour. Earth's environmental spheresEarth's environment includes the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the biosphere.
Explanation:
Answer:
Buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.
Buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.
Explanation:
An effective weak acid-conjugate base buffer should have pH equal to
of the weak acid. For buffers with the same pH, higher the concentrations of the components in a buffer, higher will the buffer capacity.
Acetic acid is a weak acid and
is the conjugate base So, all the given buffers are weak acid-conjugate base buffers. The pH of these buffers are expressed as (Henderson-Hasselbalch):
![pH=pK_{a}(CH_{3}COOH)+log\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_%7Ba%7D%28CH_%7B3%7DCOOH%29%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_%7B3%7DCOOH%5D%7D)

Buffer A: 
Buffer B: 
Buffer C: 
So, both buffer A and buffer B has same pH value which is also equal to
. Buffer B has higher concentrations of the components as compared to buffer A, Hence, buffer B has the highest buffer capacity.
The pH of buffer C is far away from
. Therefore, buffer C has the lowest buffer capacity.
The third option because the elements mentioned in that selection are in the same group, they must have similar properties.
