Question

A volume of 0.300 L contains, in addition to water, also 0.250 M acetic acid and 0.560 M
sodium acetate. 3 mL of 2 M hydrochloric acid (0.0060 mol hydrochloric acid) is added to this buffer.
a) Calculate the pH of the original solution using Henderson-Hasselbalchs
equation. pKa (CH3COOH) = 4.75

b) Calculate the pH of the original solution based on the equilibrium that actually occurs
in the solution. The experimental acid equilibrium constant for acetic acid, Ka = 1.80 x 10-5
c) How well the pH calculated in (a) and (b) matches. If there is a difference, what is it?
on? What is your conclusion about when it is appropriate to use Henderson-Hasselbalchs
the equation?
d) What is the pH of the new solution, after the addition of hydrochloric acid?
