A buffer was prepared containing 0.50 M formic acid (HCOOH) and 0.50 M sodium formate (NaCOOH). The Ka of formic acid is 1.7 x 10-4. What will be the pH after 0.010 mol of NaOH(s) is added to 100.0 mL of the buffer

For a buffer that was prepared contain 0.50 M formic acid (HCOOH) and 0.50 M sodium formate (NaCOOH). the pH is mathematically given as

pH=3.95

What is the pH after 0.010 mol of NaOH(s) is added to 100.0 mL of the buffer?

Generally, the equation for the Hendersons equation   is mathematically given as


pH=pKa+log(SALT)/(ACID)

Where

moles of  (NaCOOH)=100*0.05/1000

moles of  (NaCOOH)=0.05moles

and  formic acid

moles of formic acid=100*0.05/1000

moles of  formic acid=0.05moles

Therefore

pKa=-logka

pKa=1.4*10*3.77

pH=3.77+log{0.06/0.04}

pH=3.95

In conclusion, the pH is

pH=3.95
