Which of the following statements is accurate regarding buffering solutions?
A. If we add a large amount of acid to the solution, the weak base will consume the hydrogen ion resulting in the formation of the conjugate acid of the weak base.
B. If we add a neutral amount of acid to the solution, the weak base will consume the hydrogen ion resulting in the formation of the conjugate acid of the weak base.
C. If we add a small amount of acid to the solution, the weak base will consume the hydrogen ion resulting in the formation of the conjugate acid of the weak base.
D. If we do not add a small amount of acid to the solution, the weak base will consume the hydrogen ion resulting in the formation of the conjugate acid of the weak base.
