A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of nitrous acid and 0.27 mol of sodium nitrite in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L of solution. The addition of 0.05 mol of HCl to this buffer solution causes the pH to drop slightly.  The pH does not decrease drastically because the HCl reacts with the __________ present in the buffer solution.  The Ka of nitrous acid is 1.36  10-3.
A) H2O
B) H3O+
C) nitrite ion
D) nitrous acid
E) This is a buffer solution: the pH does not change upon addition of acid or base.
