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

Given that the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced from the combustion are equal, that means for every carbon atom, there are 2 hydrogen atoms because CO2 has only 1 carbon atom and H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms. So let's look at the available choices and see which one is correct.
A. C2H2
This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.
B. C2H6
This is a 1 to 3 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.
C. C4H8
This is a 1 to 2 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Correct answer.
D. C6H6
This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.</span>
Answer:
12 %
Explanation:
Produces 15 J of work for input 125 J
15/125 * 100% = 12%
