Lactic acid is a weak organic acid and present in both sour milk and buttermilk. It is also a product of carbohydrate metabolism and is found in the blood after vigorous muscular activity. A buffer prepared is made of 1.00 mol lactic acid (C3H6O3), (Ka=1.4x10-4), and 1.00 mol sodium lactate (NaC3H5O3). Calculate the following: after the addition of 0.08 mol NaOH after addition of 0.08 mol HCl initial pH of the buffer
