The main purpose of a buffer solution is just to resist the change in pH so that the pH of the solution won't be much affected when we add an acid or base into it. The added acid or base is neutralized.

Answer: A buffer solution is a solution made to prevent the pH level of something from changing when you add a base or an acid to it. For example, if you put a buffer solution in a pool, and then you put chlorine in it, the chlorine's effect on the PH level will be suppressed.

Which list of solutions is arranged in order from highest boiling point to lowest boiling point?
Oxana [17]

In determining the boiling point of solutions, always take note of the number of ions that will dissociate in the solution. It does not depend on the nature of the substance. The greater the number of ions dissociated, the greater is the boiling point of the solution.

Beryllium forms a compound with chlorine that has the empirical formula becl2. the compound does not dissolve in water. how woul
nevsk [136]
To determine if the compound is an ionic compound, heat it up until the compound reaches its melting point and become molten. Use the molten form to set up an electric circuit and see if the compound will conduct electricity. If the compound conduct electricity then it is an ionic compound. If it does not conduct electricity, it is not an ionic compound. Ionic compounds usually conduct electricity in their molten forms.<span />
