To calculate the effect of adding 10 cm³ of 1M hydrochloric acid to 1 dm³ of a buffer solution containing 0.1M ethanoic acid and 0.1M sodium ethanoate, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is recommended. This equation is expressed as pH = pK_a + log([A^-]/[HA]).

Hi ppl, could anyone give me a hint as to how to calculate this:

Calculate the effect of adding 10cm3 of hydrochloric acid of concentration 1M to 1dm3 of a buffer. The buffer is a solution of ethanoic acid(Ka=1.8 * 10^-5 M) at a concentration of 0.1M and sodium ethanoate at 0.1M.

Thanks for any help
Joe

use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH=pK_a+log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}
if in doubt refer

and the rest.

regards
P.S:Many posts have come on this topic.Moderator,why don't we make such a topic Sticky for a month or two?
