Problem

When a small amount of NaOH(aq) is added to a buffer containing equimolar CH3COOH(aq)\mathrm{CH_3COOH}(aq) and CH3COO−(aq)\mathrm{CH_3COO^-}(aq), a neutralization reaction occurs. Write the balanced net ionic equation for this reaction and, in one sentence, describe how it limits the change in pH.
