Answer:

pH = 4.25

Explanation:

A solution composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base is a <em>buffer solution</em>. To calculate the pH of a buffer solution we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log ([conjugate base]/[weak acid]

In this case, we have the following data:

[conjugate base] = [sodium benzoate] = 0.230 M

[weak acid] = [benzoic acid] = 0.205 M

The pKa of benzoic acid is 4.2. So, we introduce the data in the equation:

pH = 4.2 + log (0.230 M/0.205 M) = 4.2 + 0.050 = 4.25

Awnser: C. petrolium

See, petroleum (i.e. oil) is transformed into gasoline.

"Sometimes, petroleum and crude oil are used to mean the same thing, but petroleum itself is a broad range of petroleum products including crude oil itself. We use the term 'petroleum products after crude oil is refined in a factory." - <span>www.eschooltoday.com/energy/non-renewable-energy/what-is-petroleum.html</span>
