Chemistry

How would you make 350 mL of a buffer with a total concentration of 0.75M and a pH of 9 from a solution of 1.25M ammonia (pKa = 9.25) and a solution of 1.25M HCl or NaOH?

a. What would be the volume of weak component and what would be the volume of strong component?

b. What would be the buffer capacity?

c. After the buffer is made, what would the pH change to if 24.5mL of 1.25M HCl is added?

d. After the buffer is made, what would the pH change to if 37.3mL of 1.25M NaOH is added?
