This question is about a buffer solution made by mixing together solutions containing ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate. didadid H3C HO, H3C° O`Na* H3C O Na* H,C OH a) If you add a small amount of an acid such as dilute hydrochloric acid to this, the pH doesn't change much. Explain what happens to the extra hydrogen ions you have added, b) If you add a small amount of an alkali such as sodium hydroxide solution to the buffer solution, again the pH doesn't change much. There are two ways in which the extra hydroxide ions can be removed. What are they?
