In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

Compare and contrast solids liquids and gases in terms of volume shape compessibility and energy
tangare [24]

Answer:

solid has definite shape and volume.

liquid do not have definite shape but have definite volume.

gas do not have definite shape and definite volume.

solid have lowest compressibility out of three, liquid have more compressibility than solid but less than gases. gases have the highest compressibility out of three. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

HELP!!! WILL RECEIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!! What is the independent variable
ycow [4]
You kind of need to show more, but the independent variable would be something that you are changing to then measure the reaction, like the time left in for example.
