Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.
This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.
In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.
We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.
Thus, we can conclude that equation represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.
The final temperature of the mixture : 21.1° C
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, i.e. the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released
Q in(gained) = Q out(lost)
Heat can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
Q ethanol=Q water
mass ethanol=
mass water =
then the heat transfer :
