calculate the pH of 75mL of the undiluted buffer solution (buffer solution prepared by mixing 100mL 1.060 M acetic acid with 100 mL 1.068 M sodium acetate solution) after the addition of 1 mL of 3 M NaOH
The initial buffer pH is
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid] = 4.750 + log (1.068/1.060) = 4.753
The initial quantities are
0.100L x 1.060 mol/L = 0.1060 mol acetic acid
0.100L x 1.068 mol/L = 0.1068 mol sodium acetate
0.001L x 3mol/L = 0.0030 mol NaOH added
The new pH will be
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid] = 4.750 + log [(0.1068+0.0030)/(0.1060-0.0030)] =
= 4.750 + log(0.1098/0.1030)
= 4.750 + 0.028 = 4.778
