Answer:
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the buffer is not given, we assume it is based off ammonia, it means the ammonia-ammonium buffer, whereas the ammonia is the weak base and the ammonium ion stands for the conjugate acid. In such a way, when adding HI to the solution, the base of the buffer, NH3, reacts with the former to promote the following chemical reaction:
Because the HI is totally ionized in solution so the iodide ion becomes an spectator one.

Answer: A reversible reaction is a reaction that takes place in back and front directions. If the reaction were to reach equilibrium, the rate of forward direction would be equal to that of the reverse reaction.
Explanation:
Reversible reactions :
These are the reaction in which reactants reacts to give product and products reacts to give reactants as a product in return.
- In above equation, 'A' and 'B' are reacting together to give 'C' and 'D', as products and vice-versa.
- When the above reaction reaches equilibrium the rate of forward and backward reaction becomes equal.
