Chapter 16, Problem 16.34QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The volume of given hydrochloric acid solution in the given buffer to raise its $\text{pH}$ to the given value is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The concentration of conjugate acid and base present in the given buffer solution is calculated by using the formula,

$\text{pOH}=p{K}_{\text{b}}+\log \frac{\left[\text{Conjugate}\text{Acid}\right]}{\left[\text{Base}\right]}$

To determine: The volume of given hydrochloric acid solution in the given buffer solution.
