An acid–base buffer is able to resist changes in pH due to the addition of small amounts of strong acid or base to the system. An acid–base buffer typically contains a weak acid and its conjugate base.   A buffer is prepared by mixing 33.2 mL of 0.209  M NaOH with 138.1  mL of 0.231 M acetic acid. What is the pH of this buffer? (The pKa for acetic acid is 4.75.)   Calculate the pH of this buffer after the addition of 0.192  g of solid NaOH.
