Answer:

Lower the pH several units

Explanation:

Typically, a buffer system would minimize changes in pH values with additions of strong acid or base. However, one should realize buffer systems do have limits. The limits are dictated by the amount of common ion in the buffer solution mix. The chemistry of the buffer and common ion functions to remove the excess strong acid or base added. However, if more strong acid or strong base is added that exceeds the capacity of the buffer solution to remove the an excess acid or base solution would result and pH values would change drastically.

In this problem, perchloric acid (HClO₄) is a strong acid delivering hydronium ion in an amount equal to the amount of perchloric acid noted in the problem.

Since the concentration of perchloric acid (HClO₄) and H⁺ ion exceeds the concentration of available acetate ion in the buffer solution, the buffer effect would be exhausted before removing all of the HClO₄. The remaining HClO₄ would then function to drastically reduce the pH of the remaining solution several units before stabilizing.

The 0.443M HOAc/0.332M NaOAc buffer before addition of the HClO₄ has a pH of 4.62.  Adding 0.365M in HClO₄ would cause the HOAc equilibrium to shift left because of the H⁺ overload. This shift would continue until all of the strong acid was removed or all of the conjugate base is exhausted by converting back to HOAc. That is, adding 0.365M HClO₄ removes all 0.332M OAc⁻ leaving 0.365M - 0.332M = 0.033M excess HClO₄. The pH of a 0.033M HClO₄ solution => pH = -logs[H⁺] = -log(0.033) = 1.48.

=> compare pH before adding acid = 4.62 to pH after adding acid = 1.48.

Give an example of how environmental science might involve geology and chemistry.
Sever21 [200]
One of the examples is radiation and chemistry of water. Environmental science requires the capacity to integrate data from the greater part of the significant fields of science, and in addition from arithmetic. 
Geology is vital on the grounds that huge scale arrives forms make geology. The presence of mountains and valleys influences how much daylight and precipitation achieve the ground, how breezy an area is, the manner by which precipitation keeps running off, and numerous different variables that figure out what plants and creatures will have the capacity to occupy a district.
