Chapter 16.3, Problem 6PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of $\text{pH}$ for a given buffer solution and the value of $\text{pH}$ after the addition of $1.00\text{mL}$ of $0.318\text{M}$ $\text{NaOH}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The potential of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions is called as $\text{pH}$ and the potential of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions is called as $\text{pOH}$. The value of $\text{pH}$ is less than $7$ for acidic solutions and greater than $7$ for basic solutions. For neutral solution the value of $\text{pH}$ is $7$.

To determine: The value of $\text{pH}$ for a given buffer solution and the value of $\text{pH}$ after the addition of $1.00\text{mL}$ of $0.318\text{M}$ $\text{NaOH}$ to the buffer solution.
