A buffer solution is made such that the initial concentrations of lactic acid (HC3H5O3) and the lactate ion (C3H­O­-) are 0.600 M and 0.620 M, respectively. What is the resulting pH if 200.0 mL of 0.100 M potassium hydroxide is added to 0.600 L of the buffer solution? (The Ka of HC3H5O3 is 1.4 x 10-4.)
