Which is a characteristic of super-absorbent polymers? a)when they absorb water, they become gels. b)they bind to water in stoichiometric ratios. c)they have a single water-absorbing monomer per molecule. d)each monomer is a salt of a carboxylic acid that repels water.

Answer asap need to be answered by wednesday morning explain how a buffer works, using an ethanoic acid / sodium ethanoate system including how the system resists changes in ph upon addition of a small amount of base and upon addition of a small amount of acid respectively. include the following calculations in your i. calculate the ph of a solution made by mixing 25cm3 0.1m ch3cooh and 40cm3 0.1m ch3coo-na+. [ka = 1.74 x 10-5 m] ii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m naoh to 500cm3 of this buffer solution. iii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m hcl to 200cm3 of the original buffer solution.
