From the calculations, the pH of the buffer is 3.1.
<h3>What is the pH of the buffer solution?</h3>
The Henderson-Hasselbach equation comes in handy when we deal with the pH of a buffer solution. From that equation;
pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]
Amount of the salt = 25/1000 * 0.50 M = 0.0125 moles
Amount of the acid = 75/1000 * 1.00 M = 0.075 moles
Total volume = ( 25 + 75)/1000 = 0.1 L
Molarity of salt = 0.0125 moles/0.1 L = 0.125 M
Molarity of the acid = 0.075 moles/0.1 L = 0.75 M
Given that the pKa of lactic acid is 3.86
pH = 3.86 + log( 0.125/0.75)
pH = 3.1

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.
Answer:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
Explanation:
When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.
It should be noted that when a reaction is occurring in a test tube, heat transmitted to the surroundings when Molecules collide with the glass, and the glass molecules then transmit that energy to the outside.
<h3>What is heat?</h3>
Heat can be regarded as a form of energy which is energy that is been transferred as a result of difference in temperature.
In the case above, Molecules collide with the glass, and the glass molecules then transmit that energy to the outside which is an exothermic reaction.
Therefore, option B is correct.

Answer : The reaction is endothermic.
Explanation :
Formula used :
where,
= change in temperature = 
Q = heat involved in the dissolution of KCl = ?
m = mass = 0.500 + 50.0 = 50.5 g
c = specific heat of resulting solution = 
Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:
The heat involved in the dissolution of KCl is positive that means as the change in temperature decreases then the reaction is endothermic and as the change in temperature increases then the reaction is exothermic.
Hence, the reaction is endothermic.
