Answer:
The incorrect or the false options are -
(B) - If NH4NO3 is added, the pH becomes more basic.
(D) - If a small amount of HCl is added, the pH becomes slightly more basic.
(E) - If NaOH is added, the OH- ions react with the [tex]NH_3[/tex].
Explanation:
The given solution the buffer basic .
- When a small amount of either is added, the hydrogen ion reacts with the ammonium ion, raising the pH slightly.
- When a small amount of HCl is added, the hydronium ion reacts with the ammonia, raising the pH slightly.
Therefore , the options A ( If a small amount of NaOH is added, the pH becomes slightly more basic.) and C ( If HCl is added, the H+ ions react with the NH3.) All other B , D , E are false .
