I’d say most likely air, oxygen, or carbon dioxide
Buffer solution resist the change in pH upon addition of small amount of strong acid or strong base.
Buffer consists of weak acid as HF / and its conjugate base NaF
When strong acid as HCl is added to buffer, it respond with its conjugate base to convert the strong acid to weak acid like this:
HCl (S.A) + NaF → NaCl + HF (W.A)
moles of HF we already have = M * V(in liters)
= 0.0955 M * 0.033 L = 3.15 x 10⁻³ mole
moles of HCl added = 8.00 x 10⁻⁵ mole
one mole HCl reacts with 1 mole NaF to give 1 mole HF
so the amount added to HF = 8.00 x 10⁻⁵
Total moles of HF present = (3.15 x 10⁻³) + (8.00 x 10⁻⁵) = 3.23 x 10⁻³ mole
Answer:
The rate would be lower and the concentration of reactants would be lower.
Explanation:
The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the rate constant and the concentration of reactants.
For Ex:
For a reaction experimentally given by A + B ----> C + D
Rate = k[A][B]
where k is the rate constant
[A] = concentration of reactant A
[B] = concentration of reactant B
As the reaction proceeds,the concentration of reactant decrease and concentration of products increase.Rate constant k depends only on temperature and activation energy.Hence it will remain constant throughout the reaction assuming that reaction is carried out at constant temperature and pressure.
Hence rate will depend only on concentration of reactants and hence decrease with decrease in concentration of reactants.
