You are given 60 mL of 0.50 M acetic/acetate buffer to test. The starting composition of the two major species are:
COncentration of CH3COOH: 0.304 M
Concentration of CH3COO: 0.196 M
a. use the Henderson- Hasselbach equation to estimate the initial pH of the buffer.
b. You add 1.0mL of 1.00 M HCl to the buffer. Calculate the molarity of H3O+ added as HCl, and the final molarities of acetic acid and acetate ion at equilibrium. what is the new value of pH?
c. now take a fresh 60mL of the buffer and add 1.0 mL M NaOH. Using steps similar to those above, calculate the new pH of the solution
