Question

A buffer solution is prepared by mixing 21.8 mL of 0.974 M phenylammonium chloride with 43.8 mL of 0.0931 M phenylamine (aniline).

using A table of pKa values:

1. Calculate the pH (to two decimal places) of this solution.
Assume the 5% approximation is valid and that the volumes are additive.


2. Calculate the pH (to two decimal places) of the buffer solution after the addition of 20.3 mL of a 0.0123 M solution of hydrobromic acid to the existing buffer solution.
Assume the 5% approximation is valid and that the volumes are additive.
