Question

Please calculate the pH of a 0.5L solution prepared with 0.05 M acetic acid (pK = 4.76) before and after the addition of 2 mL of 5 M NaOH. In a secondary calculation, please calculate the pH of this solution if the buffer was not present.

Hint: 1 Do not forget to calculate the equilibrium concentrations of acid and conjugate base as a first step.

Hint: 2 Your goal is to calculate 3 pH values
