This document provides instructions on how to determine the pH value of a buffer made from a weak acid and strong base. It explains that the mole number of weak acid should remain after the reaction to form a mixture of the weak acid and its salt. It then gives the formula for calculating the concentration of hydrogen ions and using that to calculate pH. It provides two example problems, showing the step-by-step workings to find the pH of mixtures of acetic acid and sodium acetate solutions.
