Want to know:

To prepare a buffer solution for an experiment, a student measured out 53.49g of NH4Cl(s) (molar mass 53.49g/mol) and added it to 1.0L of 1.0MNH3(aq). However, in the process of adding the NH4Cl(s) to the NH3(aq), the student spilled some of the NH4Cl(s) onto the bench top. As a result, only about 50.g of NH4Cl(s) was actually added to the 1.0MNH3(aq). Which of the following best describes how the buffer capacity of the solution is affected as a result of the spill?AThe solution has a greater buffer capacity for the addition of base than for acid, because [NH3]<[NH4+][NH3]<[NH4+].BThe solution has a greater buffer capacity for the addition of base than for acid, because [NH3]>[NH4+][NH3]>[NH4+].CThe solution has a greater buffer capacity for the addition of acid than for base, because [NH3]<[NH4+][NH3]<[NH4+].DThe solution has a greater buffer capacity for the addition of acid than for base, because [NH3]>[NH
