Question

Q8: what is the correct answer choice 

For the calculating change in pH question, some of the volumes of acid required were very, very small. The smallest volume that can be reasonably transferred with pipetteman is 2 microliters (2 x 10^-6 liters).

If the volume of acid that needs to be added is so small that there is no equipment available to measure and transfer the correct volume of acid, what could be done to successfully adjust the pH?

- Use a **more** concentrated acid to adjust the pH so the required volume would be **smaller**.
- Use a **less** concentrated acid to adjust the pH so the required volume would be **smaller**.
- Use a **less** concentrated acid to adjust the pH so the required volume would be **larger**.
- Use a **more** concentrated acid to adjust the pH so the required volume would be **larger**.
