Consider a 500 mL buffer made of 0.500 M formic acid (Pk₂= 3.75) and 0.250 M sodium formate.
a. What is the initial pH of the buffer?
b. What is the change in pH after 50 mL of 1.00 M HCI has been added to the buffer?
c.
If the original buffer (from part a) had either 0.600 M HCl or 0.400 M NaOH spilled into it and
the new pH was measured to be 4.12; which was spilled and how many mLs?
a. pH= pka + loy (HA)
lug (0.250)
= 3.75 lug
= 4.05
b) pH = pka + lug (HA=X)
= 3.75 + log (0.1)
= 3.81
c) pH= pka + log (=
HA +X
0.250-0.0501

NHA CV = (0.500 M) (0.500L)

12.5 = 0.250 +X
