a) What is the pH of a buffer solution prepared by mixing 120 mLof a 0.435 M CH3CO2H with 50 mL of a .286 MCH3CO2Na solution?CH3CO2H Ka = 1.75 x10-5

b) What is the resulting pH if we add 10.2 mL of a .513 M HClsolution to this buffer? Does the pH make sense? Why/why not?

c) What is the resulting pH if we add 3.56 mL of a 0.420 M NaOHsolution to the original buffer?
