It doesn't because pepper does not dissolve
Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.
Justification:
NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:
- NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)
On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:
Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).
That is what the given reaction represents:
CuSO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

167 mL
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = .8 atm
V1 = 250 mL
P2 = 1.2 atm
Solve for V2 —> V2 = P1V1/P2
V2 = (0.8 atm)(250 mL) / (1.2 atm) = 167 mL
I really hope i helped you! :)
Peoples cells vary . so theres no definite say
