Math Problem Statement
Using Henderson-Hasselbach Equation, show the change in pH of the buffer solution in part B when added with 0.1 M HCl and the change in pH when added with 0.1 M NaOH. Compare calculated results with experimental results.
Solution
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is given by:
[ \text{pH} = \text{pKa} + \log \left( \frac{[\text{A}^-]}{[\text{HA}]} \right) ]
Where:
- is the pH of the buffer solution.
- is the dissociation constant of the weak acid.
- is the concentration of the conjugate base.
- is the concentration of the weak acid.
To calculate the change in pH after adding 0.1 M HCl or 0.1 M NaOH to the buffer solution, follow these steps:
1. **Determine the initial pH of the buffer
