pH of buffer solution : 4.32
Further explanation
A buffer solution is a solution that can maintain a good pH value due to the addition of a little acid or a little base or dilution.
The buffer solution can be acidic or basic
Acid buffer solutions consist of weak acids(H₂CO₃) and their salts.(NaHCO₃)
mol H₂CO₃
[tex]\tt 0.032\times 0.25=0.008[/tex]
mol NaHCO₃
[tex]\tt 0.02\times 0.15=0.003[/tex]
[tex]\tt [H^+]=Ka\dfrac{mole~weak~acid}{mole~salt}\\\\(H^+]=1.8\times 10^{-5}\dfrac{0.008}{0.003}=4.8\times 10^{-5}\\\\pH=5-log~4.8=4.32[/tex]
