Answer:

d. the conjugate base.

Explanation:

The general reaction of a weak acid, HA, with a strong base YOH, is:

HA + YOH → A⁻ + H₂O + Y⁻

<em>Where A⁻ is the conjugate base of the weak acid and Y⁻ usually is a strong electrolyte.</em>

<em />

That means after he complete reaction you don't have weak acid nor strong base, just conjugate base that will be in equilibrium with water, thus (Strong electrolyte doesn't change pH:

A⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HA + OH⁻

As the equilibrium is producing OH⁻, the pH of the solution is being affected for the conjugate base

Right option:

<h3>d. the conjugate base. </h3>

Surface tension is defined as the tendency of elasticity of a liquid surface that makes it to achieve the possible least surface area. It depends upon the intermolecular forces present on the boundary of the surface of the compound and its contact.

n-butane (CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}) is non-polar compound and it consist of only weak dispersion forces that are responsible for any contact with the surface.

In comparison to other given substances, n-butane has the weakest dispersion forces. Thus, n-butane has lowest surface tension.
