Question

Consider exactly one litre of a propanoic acid buffer solution, containing 0.600 M C3H5OOH and 0.252 M C3H5OO- .

3.1 Determine the pH of the buffer solution.

3.2 Determine by means of a full calculation the change in pH of the buffer solution that will result when 100. mL of a 1.00 × 10−2 M HCℓ solution is added to it. You must indicate all the relevant reaction equations in your working.

Expert Solution
Step 1

If a strong acid is added in a buffer then it reacts with the conjugate base of the acid while if a strong base is added then it reacts with the weak acid.
