A 1.0 L buffer solution is 0.250 M HC2H3O2 and 0.050 M LiC2H3O2. Which of the following actions will destroy the buffer? A. adding 0.050 moles of NaOH
B. adding 0.050 moles of LiC2H3O2
C. adding 0.050 moles of HC2H3O2
D. adding 0.050 moles of HCl
E. None of the above will destroy the buffer.

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
