A buffer is made with 0.50 M weak acid and 0.50 M sodium salt of the conjugate base. The pKa of the weak acid is 9.30 After the addition of a small amount of strong concentrated acid, the new equilibrium concentrations are 0.6 M weak acid and 0.4 M base. Calculate the new pH. Enter result with 2 decimal places, digits only.

What is the proper unit of molar ratio of weak acid and its conjugate base in a buffer solution? Is it mol to mol or part to part? Or is it unitless? I need to express the answer 1.45/1 = [A]/[HA] to the right unit. See image for more details. the buffer is acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer.
A weak acid/conjugate base buffer has a pH smaller than the pKa of the acid. How does this affect the buffer capacity? Think about two experiments, one where you are adding base and one where you are adding acid. Are the buffer capacities the same? Which will the buffer resist better?
Derive an equation similar to the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for a buffer composed of a weak base and its conjugate acid. Instead of relating pH to pKa and the relative concentrations of an acid and its conjugate base (as the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation does), the equation should relate pOH to pKb and the relative concentrations of a base and its conjugate acid.
