alculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer. Express your answer using two decimal places.

A 1.0-L buffer solution contains 0.100 mol  HC2H3O2 and 0.100 mol  NaC2H3O2. The value of Ka for HC2H3O2 is 1.8×10−5.

Calculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer.

The pH of this solution = 5.06  

Explanation:

Given that:

number of moles of CH3COOH = 0.100 mol

volume of the buffer solution = 1.0 L

number of moles of NaC2H3O2 = 0.100 mol

The objective is to Calculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer.

we know that concentration in mole = Molarity/volume

Then concentration of [CH3COOH] =  = 0.10 M

The chemical equation for this reaction is :

The conjugate base is CH3COO⁻

The concentration of the conjugate base [CH3COO⁻] is  =  

= 0.10 M

where the pka (acid dissociation constant)for CH3COOH = 4.74

If 0.035 mol of NaOH is added  to the original buffer, the concentration of NaOH added will be = = 0.035 M

The ICE Table for the above reaction can be constructed as follows:

Initial             0.10               0.035         0.10                  -

Change        -0.035          -0.035       + 0.035              -

Equilibrium    0.065              0              0.135               -

By using  Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

The pH of this solution = pKa + log

The pH of this solution = 4.74 + log

The pH of this solution = 4.74 + log (2.076923077 )

The pH of this solution = 4.74 + 0.3174

The pH of this solution = 5.0574

The pH of this solution = 5.06    to two decimal places

if you're asking what comes out, it's steam.
