The model below shows a carbide ion.

8 light grey and 6 dark grey balls sit at the center with 2 concentric black rings around them. The inner ring has 2 medium grey balls on it, and the outer ring has 8 medium grey balls on it. At bottom, a dark grey ball = +1, a light grey ball = 0, a medium grey ball = negative 1.

What could be done to change this carbide ion to a neutral carbon atom?

remove 2 electrons
add 2 electrons
remove 4 electrons
add 4 electrons

Answer asap need 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.
