A scientist adds a strong acid to a buffered solution. What is the expected outcome and why?

• The pH will drop drastically because buffers cannot neutralize acids.

• The pH will remain relatively stable because the buffer neutralizes added acid.

• The pH will increase because acids make solutions more basic.

• The buffer will precipitate out of solution.
