Expert Solution

Calculation of initial pH of buffer solution.

We have Henderson's equation, pH = pKa + log [ Salt ]/ [ Acid]

pH = pKa + log [ Na2SO3 ] / [ NaHSO3 ]

pH = 7.172 + log 0.387 / 0.350

pH = 7.172 + 0.04364

pH = 7.2156

pH = 7.216

Calculation of pH of buffer solution after addition of HNO 3 .

Consider reaction of HNO 3 with buffer solution.

Na2SO3+ HNO 3  NaHSO3 + NaNO 3

Let's use ICE table.

M Na2SO3+ HNO 3  NaHSO3
I 0.387 0.104 0.350
C - 0.104 -0.104 +0.104
E 0.283 0.000 0.454

We have equation , pH = pKa + log [ Na2SO3 ] / [ NaHSO3 ]

pH = 7.172 + log ( 0.283 / 0. 454 )

pH = 7.172 - 0.2053

pH = 6.9667

pH =6.967

pH Change = pH of buffer solution after addition of nitric acid - initial pH of buffer solution.

pH change = 6.967 - 7.216

pH change = - 0.249

ANSWER : - 0.249
