A beaker with 105 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 MM. A student adds 9.00 mL of a 0.460 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740.

Express your answer numerically to two decimal places. Use a minus ( − ) sign if the pH has decreased.

(1) Boric acid sample (H3BO3) contains boron (Na2B4O7.10H2O) as impurity. The quantity of this sample was dissolved in distilled water to give 1 liter of A solution.
(a) 25.00 cm3 of solution A required 8.80 cm3 of 0.01M HCl solution for neutralizing, using methyl red as indicator.
(b) In another 25.00 cm3 of A was added 8.80 cm3 of the 0.01M HCl solution, and some cm3 of glycerol was added. The result is a uniform colorless solution. The final solution was found to be equivalent to 27.30 cm3 of 0.1M NaOH solution, using phenolphthalein indicator. Find the purity of boric acid.
