A researcher measures the pH of a solution after adding increments of a base:

| Base Added (mL) | pH Level |

| :--- | :--- |

| 0 | 3.0 |

| 5 | 3.5 |

| 10 | 4.2 |

| 15 | 6.8 |

Which of the following is true about the rate of pH change between 0 and 15 mL?

  1. The pH will eventually level off near exactly 7.0 no matter how much base is added.
  2. The rate of change increases as more base is added, indicating a non-linear relationship.
  3. The pH is directly proportional to the total amount of base added to the solution.
  4. The pH level increases by a constant 1.27 units for every 5 mL increment of base added overall.
