A student prepares two acetate buffer mixtures at \(25^\circ\text{C}\). Each mixture has a volume of \(50.0\text{ mL}\). The student adds \(2.00\text{ mL}\) of \(0.100\text{ M}\) \(\text{NaOH(aq)}\) to each mixture and records the data shown below.

MixtureInitial \([\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}]\)Initial \([\text{CH}_3\text{COO}^-]\)Initial pHpH after addition
1\(0.100\text{ M}\)\(0.100\text{ M}\)\(4.74\)\(4.78\)
2\(0.0100\text{ M}\)\(0.0100\text{ M}\)\(4.74\)\(5.11\)

Which statement correctly compares the buffer capacities and explains the results?
