Calculate pH of Buffer Step-by-Step Guide

[disneychannel]

I have no idea how to find the pH of a buffer solution:
Please step by step!
Calculate the pH after 0.020 mol NaOH is added to 1.00 L of:
a mixture containing 0.100 M HONH₂ and 0.100 M HONH₃Cl

please step by step instruction so I can follow and do other problems on my own! Thanks

its been a while but don't you just find the moles of each. then find out how many OH or H you have and find the ph like that? or was that not buffer?

i don't believe that's how you do it

One of the substances listed reacts with NaOH. Assume reaction is quantitative, then it is just Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

would the answer be 6.18?

ahhh the henderson hasslebach i remember that one. Yeah you just have to use that equation with the mols of acid and base taht you have.

Depends on what value you have used for pKa. Correct ball park for sure.
