3. a) Calculate the pH of a sodium acetate-acetic acid
buffer solution (Ka= 1.78 x 10-5) in
which the concentration of both components is 1.0 M. What would be
the pH of the
solution if 1.5 mL of 0.50 M NaOH was added to 35.0 mL of the
buffer? How much
does the pH change?
b) If the same amount and concentration of NaOH was
added to 35.0 mL of pure water
(initial pH = 7), what would be the resulting pH change?

The following information is to be used for the next two questions. Molar absorptivity data for the cobalt and nickel complexes with 2,3-quinoxalinedithiol are εCo = 36400 and εNi = 5520 at 510 nm and εCo = 1240 and ε Ni = 17500 at 656 nm. A 0.556-g sample was dissolved and diluted to 150.0 mL. A 25.0-mL aliquot was treated to eliminate interferences; after addition of 2,3-quinoxalinedithiol, the volume was adjusted to 50.0 mL. This solution had an absorbance of 0.866 at 510 nm and 0.218 at 656 nm in a 1.00-cm cell.
