Chemistry

Calculate the pH of each of the solutions and the change in pHto 0.01 pH units caused by adding 10.0 mL of 2.05-M HCl to 570. mLof each of the following solutions.

a) water  

before mixing = 7

After mixing = 1.45

b) 0.135 MC2H3O21-

Before mixing = 8.95

After mixing = ?

c) 0.135 M HC2H3O2

Before mixing = ?

After mixing = ?

d) a buffer solution that is 0.135 M in eachC2H3O21- andHC2H3O2

Before mixing = ?

After mixing = ?

I've tried this so many times and I don't understand it. Isthere a formula or a set of formulas for this ?? Can someone pleasejust spell it out for me step by step and why. Please and thankyou!
