3 is C i believe, and as for 4 minerals are solid, natural.. that's about all I can say...
Explanation:
When a solid substance is dissolved in a liquid such as water, the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules in the solid substance are overcome and they exist as ions in the solution. Hence the answer is 2.
Explanation:
The solution of the lactic acd and sodium lactate is referred to as a buffer solution.
A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. In this case, the weak acid is the lactic acid and the conjugate base is the sodium lactate.
Buffer solutions are generally known to resist change in pH values.
When a strong base (in this case, NaOH) is added to the buffer, the lactic acid will give up its H+ in order to transform the base (OH-) into water (H2O) and the conjugate base, so we have:
HA + OH- → A- + H2O.
Since the added OH- is consumed by this reaction, the pH will change only slightly.
The NaOH reacts with the weak acid present in the buffer sollution.
