A buffer solution is prepared by adding NH4CIto a solution of NH3 (ammonia).NH3(aq) + H2O(0) = NH4+ (aq) + OH-(aq)What happens if HCl is added?

Respuesta :

ANSWER

The addition of HCl will shift to reactants

EXPLANATION

When some strong acid is added to a buffer, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, and the hydrogen ion concentration increases by less than expected for the amount of strong acid added. Buffer solution helps in adjusting the pH of a substance.

Since the HCl is a strong acid, it will shift to the left (reactant sides)
