Calculate the pH of a 0.0131 mol dm^-3 solution of calcium hydroxide at 10 degrees centigrade.

Multiply by 2 because calcium hydroxide = Ca(OH)2 so 2 x [OH-] per molecule.[OH-] = 0.0131 x 2 = 0.0262
Insert [OH-] value into the equilibrium equation along with the value of Kw at 10 degrees centi...

Explain why adding small amounts of acid or base hardly changes the pH of an acidic buffer solution.

An acidic buffer solution is made up of a weak acid (e.g. ethanoic acid) and a salt containing its conjugate base (e.g. sodium ethanoate). It resists pH change via two mechanisms: The fact that the acid i...
