If 10.0mL of 0.500M NaOH is added to the buffer, which of the following is most likely the resulting pH, and why?

The pH will be slightly greater than 4.85, because some CH₃CH₂COOH will react with the added bases, resulting in a slight decrease in [H₃O⁺].

The pH will be much less than 4.85, because the buffer will respond to the addition of NaOH by producing more CH₃CH₂COOH.

To prepare a buffer solution for an experiment, a student measured out 53.49g of NH₄Cl₄ (molar mass 53.49g/mol) and added it to 1.0L of 1.0M NH₃(aq). However, in the process of adding the NH₄Cl₄ to the NH₃(aq), the student spilled some of the NH₄Cl₄ onto the bench top. As a result, only about 50g of NH₄Cl₄ was actually added to the 1.0M NH₃(aq). Which of the following best describes how the buffer capacity of the solution is affected as a result of the spill?

If the NaOH solution was mislabeled and was 1.00M instead of 0.100M, which of the following would be true?

The pH of the resulting solution would be much higher than 4.87 because the weak acid would be completely neutralized by the larger amount of NaOH added.

The pH of the resulting solution would still be 4.87 because buffer solutions regulate changes in pH regardless of how much NaOH is added.

The pH of the resulting solution would be somewhat higher than 4.87 because adding NaOH that is 10 times more concentrated makes the concentration of the conjugate base 10 times larger.

The pH of the resulting solution would still be 4.87 because the solution contains a large volume of the weak acid to react with the NaOH and maintain the same pH.

The acid ionization equilibrium for HNO_2 is represented by the equation below. A 250.0mL buffer solution is prepared by mixing 125.0mL of 0.20M HNO_2 and 125.0mL of 0.1M NaOH.

Which of the following best helps explain why the pH of sample 4 is lower than the pH of the other samples containing only buffer solution?

After measuring the pH of the more acidic sample 3, the pH probe was not rinsed and wiped, resulting in the neutralization of a very small amount of the conjugate base in sample 4.

Prior to measuring the pH of sample 4, some water evaporated, resulting in an increase in the concentration of HNO_2 in the sample.

Prior to measuring the pH of sample 4, the room temperature dropped suddenly, resulting in an increase in the pK_a for HNO_2.
