Answer:

The answer is:

(D) lessen the effect of negative news

Explanation:

In chemistry, a buffer is a solution form by a  weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid that can resist changes in pH when an acid or base is added to it, as it neutralizes them.

So, as it neutralizes the effect of the acid or bases in pH, the chosen answer for the question is that a buffer is to lessen the effect of negative news.

Which refers to substances that are complex molecules and contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

organic

Explanation:

Organic substances are those which contains covalently linked carbon to hydrogen (C-H) bonds in their structure. In other words, organic compounds or substances are uniquely composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms covalently linked together.

These substances usually contain a long chain of these bonds, hence, making them complex. Therefore, according to this question, substanves that are complex molecules and contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms are referred to as ORGANIC SUBSTANCES.

Contrast intensive and extensive phisical properties​
Gelneren [198K]
Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.
