#20: Short Answer Question (11 points) You are provided with 100 mL of an aqueous buffer that is 0.25 M in formic acid, HCO2H, a weak acid, and 0.25 M sodium formate, HCO2Na. What is the pH of this buffer? Circle your answer. To this solution, you have added 10.0 mL of a 0.2 M HNO3. Write out the reaction that occurs when HNO3 is added to the buffer. Calculate the new concentrations of formic acid (HCO2H) and sodium formate (HCO2Na) in the solution. To receive partial credit show the setup of your stoichiometry table. Circle your answers for and {HCO2Na]. Calculate the pH of this solutions after the addition of HNO3. Circle your answer.
