<span>A - moving 2 newton's up 0.6 meter = 1.2 joules
B - moving 4 newton's up 0.6 meter = 2.4 joules
C - moving 6 newton's up 0.3 meter = 1.8 joules
D - moving 9 newton's up 0.3 meter = 2.7 joules
The greatest amount of work is in example D.

The salt is a solid compound and is considered the "Solute" of the solution.
To minimize the sharp pH shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution, IT IS PRACTICAL TO ADD A WEAK BASE.
When a strong acid is added to a solution, it usually brings about a sharp change in the pH of the concerned solution. To avoid this, one can add a weak base to the solution first. The weak base will serves as a buffer for the strong acid and prevents the solution from experiencing sharp pH variations.
