A buffer is made by adding 0.300 mol HC2H3O2 and 0.300 mol NaC2H3O2 to enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. Calculate the pH after 0.020 mol of NaOH is added. Ka (HC2H3O2) = 1.8 × 10–5

Step 1
First, we need to understand that a buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is Show more…

A 0.100 L buffer solution contains 0.100 mol HC2H3O2 and 0.100 mol NaC2H3O2. The value of Ka for HC2H3O2 is 1.8 × 10–5. Because the initial amounts of acid and conjugate base are equal, the pH of the buffer is equal to pKa = –log(1.8 × 10–5) = 4.74. (a) Calculate the new pH after adding 0.020 mol of solid NaOH to the buffer. (b) Calculate the pH after adding 0.020 mol of solid NaOH to 0.100 L of pure water.

A 1.0 L buffer solution contains 0.100 mol HC2H3O2 and 0.100 mol NaC2H3O2. The value of Ka for HC2H3O2 is 1.8 × 10^–5. Because the initial amounts of acid and conjugate base are equal, the pH of the buffer is equal to pKa = 4.74. Calculate the new pH after adding 0.0125 mol of solid NaOH to the buffer.

A buffer that contains 0.110$M \mathrm{HY}$ and 0.220$M \mathrm{Y}^{-}$ has a $\mathrm{pH}$ of $8.77 .$ What is the pH after 0.0015 $\mathrm{mol}$ of $\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}$ is added to 0.350 $\mathrm{L}$ of this solution?
