Buffer solutions - Calculate the concentration of H3O+
« on: August 05, 2009, 11:14:45 AM »
A buffer solution is prepared by mixing 150 mL of 0.15 M NaF and 65 mL of 0.030 M
HF. Calculate the concentration of H3O+ (given Ka for  HF  = 7.2 × 10–4) [14 marks]

I have no idea how to do this or where to start. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you know the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation? It will be useful here.

Nope I don't think I do. Is that the only equation I need to apply to this? Thanks.
