Consider a 500 mL buffer made of 0.500 M formic acid (Pk. = 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 an the new pH was measured to be 4.12; which was spilled and how many mLs?

![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
