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

The revival of jansenism, which centered on miracles that allegedly happened at the grave of a jansenist priest, is evidence of
lapo4ka [179]

The evidence of the revival of Jansenism is the desire of ordinary people to connect themselves to what they saw as the direct work of God.

<h3>What is Jansenism?</h3>

Jansenism is a theological movement that is done with the mixing of Catholicism. It was active in France's kingdom.

Primarily throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Jansenism flourished inside Roman Catholicism before being denounced as heresy in 1653 by Pope Innocent X.

Thus, the yearning of common people to participate in what they perceived as God's direct action is proof of the rebirth of Jansenism.

Why do different molecules require different masses to make 1 mol
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Different substances have different molecular masses. Thus, equal masses have different numbers of atoms, molecules, or moles. On the other hand, equal numbers of moles of different substances have different masses.
