Question:

A buffer solution is prepared by mixing equal volumes of 0.10 M NaNO2 and 0.10 M HNO2 solutions.

a. Calculate the pH of this solution.

b. How would the buffer capacity of 500 mL of this buffer solution compare to the buffer capacity of 1000 mL of the solution? Explain your reasoning.

c. If you had 2.0 L of this buffer solution, what is the minimum volume of 0.10 M Ca(OH)2 required to exceed the buffer capacity?
