Step 1
0 mL) × (0.5 M) = 2.5 mmol Now, let's consider the buffer capacities of Buffer B and Buffer C. Buffer capacity is the ability of a buffer to resist changes in pH when an acid or base is added. A buffer with a higher buffer capacity will have a smaller change in Show more…

a. What is the pH of 50.00 mL buffer solution which is 2.00 M in HC2H3O2 and 2.00 M in NaC2H3O2? (Ka of acetic acid = 1.8x 10^-5) b. What is the new pH after 2.00 mL of 6.00 M HCl is added to this buffer? c. What is the new pH after 2.00 mL of 6.00 M NaOH is added to the original buffer?

A buffer contains 0.20 mol of acetic acid and 0.25 mol of sodium acetate in $2.50 \mathrm{~L}$. (a) What is the pH of this buffer? (b) What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.05 mol of $\mathrm{NaOH}$ ? (c) What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of $0.05 \mathrm{~mol}$ of $\mathrm{HCl}$ ?
Calculate the $\mathrm{pH}$ of $1.00 \mathrm{L}$ of the buffer $1.00 \mathrm{M}$ $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa} / 1.00 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}$ before and after the addition of (a) 0.080 mol $\mathrm{NaOH}$, (b) 0.12 mol HCl. (Assume that there is no change in volume.)
