Question #1 and #2
## CHEM 1131: Buffer Systems

### Instructor: [Insert Instructor Name]  
**Date:** [Insert Date]

---

**Lower pH change = pH after addition - initial pH.**

Note: If the answer is negative, pH goes down.

---

### Data

**Mass of NaCl needed for 50.0 mL of 0.200 M NaCl solution**  
(Show calculation below.)  
\[ 50.0 \, \text{mL} \times \frac{1 \, \text{L}}{1000 \, \text{mL}} \times 0.200 \, \text{mol/L NaCl} \times \frac{58.44 \, \text{g}}{1 \, \text{mol NaCl}} \]

### Table

| Solution          | Initial pH | pH after addition of strong acid | Change in pH from initial | pH after addition of strong base | Change in pH from initial |
|-------------------|------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------------|---------------------------|
| Water             | 7.04       | 2.43                            | -4.61                     | 11.77                            | +4.73                     |
| 0.200 M NaCl      | 7.08       | 2.46                            | -4.62                     | 11.82                            | +4.74                     |
| Acetate Buffer    | 4.66       | 4.60                            | -0.06                     | 4.74                             | +0.08                     |
| Phosphate Buffer  | 6.67       | 6.62                            | -0.05                     | 6.71                             | +0.04                     |

**Note:** Changes in pH after adding strong acid or base indicate buffering capacity. A smaller change suggests better buffering.
