Chapter 16, Problem 22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of the given solution is to be calculated by a suitable method.

Concept introduction: Henderson-Hasselbalch formula provides an formula by which the pH of a buffer solution by initial concentrations of the components of the buffer solution is to be calculated.

To determine: The pH of the $100\text{ml}$ buffer solution of $0.175\text{M}$ in $\text{HClO}$ and $0.150\text{M}$ in $\text{NaClO}$ initially, after addition of $150.0\text{mg}$ of $\text{HBr}$ , after addition of $85.0\text{mg}$ of $\text{NaOH}$ is to be calculated.
