Chapter 16, Problem 4SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The option corresponding to the correct value of $\text{pH}$ after the addition of $0.010\text{mol}$ of $\text{NaOH}$ to the given buffer solution is to be identified.

Concept introduction: A buffer solution is an aqueous solution containing the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or the mixture of a weak base with its conjugate acid. The buffer solution resists the $\text{pH}$ change by neutralizing the added amount of acid or base.

To determine: The option corresponding to the correct value of $\text{pH}$ after the addition of $0.010\text{mol}$ of $\text{NaOH}$ to the given buffer solution.

Correct answer: The option (d) is correct.
