Chemistry

A beaker with 140 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.00is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugatebase in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 4.40 mL of a 0.310 MHCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa ofacetic acid is 4.760.Express your answer numerically to two decimalplaces. Use a minus (-) sign if the pH has decreased.
