Answer:
Cells of a multicellular organism
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.
Answer:
The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.
Explanation:
The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.
Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.

Answer:
CO32−
Explanation:
We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.
When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;
2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)
