### Chemistry Buffer Solution Problem

A buffer solution is made that is 0.389 M in HCN and 0.389 M in NaCN. 

If \( K_a \) for HCN is \( 4.00 \times 10^{-10} \), what is the pH of the buffer solution?

\[ \text{pH} = \]

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when 0.079 mol HBr is added to 1.00 L of the buffer solution.

(Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states of matter. Use \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \) instead of \( \text{H}^+ \).)

\[ \text{[ ]} + \text{[ ]} \rightarrow \text{[ ]} + \text{[ ]} \]
