Problem:

1. 1.00 M HNO2 and 0.500 M NaNO2 are mixed. What is the pH of the resulting buffer
solution? pKa of nitrous acid is 3.34. a. What is the pH if 0.02 M of HCl is added to the buffer?
b. What is the pH if 0.05 M of NaOH is added to the buffer?

2. A buffer solution contains 2.00 M acetic acid and 2.05 M sodium acetate. Predict the pH of
the buffer solution. The pKa of CH3COOH (not sodium acetate) is 4.752. a. What is the pH if
0.05 M of HCl is added to the buffer? b. What is the pH if 0.03 M of NaOH is added to the
buffer?
