Question: Using the equations ( discussed above ) showing the relationship between [ acid ] , [ conjugate base ] , and [ buffer concentration ]

Using the equations (discussed above) showing the relationship between [acid],[conjugate base], and [buffer concentration], mathematically show the negligible change in pH even when 2L of 10MHCl is added to 100mL of 50mM phosphate buffer at pH6.9. To address this problem, the following steps will be needed: (i) You will have to calculate the pH of the buffer after adding the 2L of 10MHCl(ii) To do this, calculate the new concentration of [acid] and [conjugate base] after the addition of 2Lof10MHCl, and (iii) To appreciate the effect of buffers, show the pH change in 100mL of water after adding 2L of 10MHCl that does not contain the phosphate buffer ions.
