![**Educational Website Text: Buffer Solution Preparation and pH Calculation**
**Buffer Solution Preparation**
A buffer solution is prepared using \( \text{CN}^- \) (from NaCN salt) and HCN in the amounts indicated. The acid dissociation constant (\( K_a \)) for HCN is \( 4.9 \times 10^{-10} \).
**Figure Description**
The figure displays a graphical representation of a buffer solution consisting of two components. The yellow spheres represent molecules of \(\text{HCN}\) and the blue spheres represent \(\text{CN}^-\) ions. These molecules are mixed together in a solution, showcasing their interaction in maintaining the buffer system.
**Part A: Calculating pH of the Buffer Solution**
To compute the pH of the buffer solution, apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
\[
\text{pH} = \text{pK}_a + \log\left(\frac{[\text{base}]}{[\text{acid}]}\right)
\]
The task is to calculate the pH, using the given \( K_a \) value and the concentrations of the components as indicated in the figure.
**Interactive Component:**
Input your calculated pH value, expressed with two decimal places, into the provided answer box. After submitting, your answer will be evaluated.
*Note: The current answer is incorrect, and you have 9 attempts remaining to submit the correct answer.*
