When a solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, it will be a buffer solution. Buffers resist change in pH following the addition of acid or base. A buffer solution prepared from a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A) is represented as HA (aq) H¹ (aq) + A (aq) The buffer will follow Le Châtelier's principle. If acid is added, the reaction shifts to consume the added H¹, forming more HA. When base is added, the base will react with H. reducing its concentration. The reaction then shifts to replace H+ through the dissociation of HA into Hand A. In both instances. [H] tends to remain constant. The pH of a buffer is calculated by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: [A] pH=pK₂ +log HA ▾ ▼ Part A What is the pH of a buffer prepared by adding 0.607 mol of the weak acid HA to 0.507 mol of NaA in 2.00 L of solution? The dissociation constant Ka of HA is 5.66 x 10 7 Express the pH numerically to three decimal places. ▸ View Available Hint(s) pH- Submit Part B pH= Submit ΠΙΑΣΦΑ Part C What is the pH after 0.150 mol of HCI is added to the buffer from Part A?

Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
