Answer #1

Part (a).

According to the Henderson-Hasselbulch equation:

pH = pKa + Log{(nconjugate base + nadded base)/(nweak acid - nadded base)} ('n' corresponds to moles)

i.e. pH = 3.82 + Log{(0.4*0.5 + 0.025)/(0.2*0.5 - 0.025)}

Therefore, pH = 4.3

Part (b).

According to the Henderson-Hasselbulch equation:

pH = pKa + Log{(nconjugate base - nadded acid)/(nweak acid + nadded acid)} ('n' corresponds to moles)

i.e. pH = 3.82 + Log{(0.4*0.5 - 0.05)/(0.2*0.5 + 0.05)}

Therefore, pH = 3.82
