A buffer solution is prepared by dissolving 1.0 mole of the weak acid CH3COOH (pKa = 4.74) and 1.0 mole of its conjugate base (CH3CO0) in 1.0 L of water. Suppose 0.1 moles of HC1 is added to this buffer solution. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true of this buffer solution FOLLOWING the addition of HC1? I. The resulting pH of the solution will be higher than 4.74 II. The resulting pH of the solution will be lower than 4.74 III. The 0.1 mole addition will be neutralized by the CH3COOH component of the buffer IV. The 0.1 mole addition will be neutralized by the CH3COO¯ component of the buffer O A II and III B. II and IV O C.II only O D.IV only

Question
A buffer solution is prepared by dissolving 1.0 mole of the weak acid CH3COOH (pKa = 4.74) and 1.0 mole of its conjugate base (CH3CO0) in 1.0 L of
water. Suppose 0.1 moles of HC1 is added to this buffer solution. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true of this buffer solution FOLLOWING the
addition of HC1?
I. The resulting pH of the solution will be higher than 4.74
II. The resulting pH of the solution will be lower than 4.74
III. The 0.1 mole addition will be neutralized by the CH3COOH component of the buffer
IV. The 0.1 mole addition will be neutralized by the CH3COO¯ component of the buffer
O A II and III
B. II and IV
O C.II only
O D.IV only
