Question:

A handbook lists various procedures for preparing buffer solutions. To obtain a pH = 9.00, the handbook says to mix 36.00 mL of 0.200 M NH3 with 64.00 mL of 0.200 M NH4Cl.

(a) Show by calculation that the pH of this solution is 9.00.

(b) Would you expect the pH of this solution to remain at pH = 9.00 if the 100.00 mL of buffer solution were diluted to 1.00 L? To 1000 L? Explain.

(c) What will be the pH of the original 100.00 mL of buffer solution if 0.20 mL of 1.00 M HCl is added to it?

(d) What is the maximum volume of 1.00 M HCl that can be added to 100.00 mL of the original buffer solution so that the pH does not drop below 8.90?
