Answer:

Hi! hopefully this helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a buffer solution for a specific pH (potential of hydrogen) by mixing together a weak acid like acetic acid HC2H3O2 with a salt that contains the conjugate base like sodium acetate NaC2H3O2. A neutralization reaction would occur as you are mixing a weak acid and a strong base.

When you add the base to an acidic solution, the solution becomes less acidic and moves toward the middle of the pH scale. Aka neutralization

Hope this helps! best of luck <3
