Answer:
d. the conjugate base of the weak acid
Explanation:
The strong base (BOH) is completely dissociated in water:
BOH → B⁺ + OH⁻
The resulting conjugate acid (OH⁻) is a weak acid, so it remains in solution as OH⁻ ions.
By other hand, the weak acid (HA) is only slightly dissociated in water:
HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
The resulting conjugate base (A⁻) is a weak base. Thus, it reacts with H⁺ ions from water to form HA, increasing the concentration of OH⁻ ions in the solution.
Therefore, the resulting solution will have a pH > 7 (basic).
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A catalyst is defined as the substance which increases the rate of the reaction without actually participating in the reaction.
This substance decreases the activation energy of the reactants, so as to proceed the reaction at a faster rate by increasing their effective collisions.
It does not affect the concentration of the reactants.
For the given reaction:

If we add NO, which is acting as a catalyst will increase the rate of the reaction to produce the products which is 
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
