A buffer is prepared using lactic acid (HLac) and sodium lactate (Nalac). 0.300 dm3 of the 0.500 mol·dm-3 HLac solution is mixed with 0.300 dm3 of the 0.300 mol·dm-3 Nalac solution to prepare the buffer. Ka for lactic acid (HLac) is 1.4 x 104. What will the pH of the above solution be after 5.0 cm3 of 0.200 mol·dm-3 NaOH has been added to only 100.0 cm3 of this buffer?
