Answer to Question #26188 in Inorganic Chemistry for nagina

Question

Calculate the pH of a sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer solution (Ka= 1.78 x 10 raised to power (-5) in which the concentration of both components is 0.1 M. What would be the pH of the solution if 1.5 mL of 0.50 M NaOH was added to 35 mL of the buffer? How much does the pH change? If the same amount and concentration of NaOH was added to 35 mL of pure water (initial pH = 7), what would be the resulting pH change?
Detailed explanation: YES
