    A buffer of pH = 7.79 is prepared using Tris HCl and NaOH. Moles of Tris HCl = 31.52 g x (1 mole / 157.59 g) = 0.20 moles.

    Moles of NaOH = Molarity x volume = 10.0 M x 6.7 mL / 10^3 L = 0.067 moles

    Tris - HCl + OH^ - - > Tris + H_2O + Cl^-

    Setup the reaction table as follows:

    Tris - HCl + OH^ - - > Tris + H_2O + Cl^-

    0.200 0.067 Initial

    -0.067 - 0.067 + 0.067 Change

    0.1333 0 0.067 Final

    The buffer is diluted to! L and half the solution is taken. So half the moles of tris - HCl and tris are present.

    Moles of Tris - HCl = 0.133 / 2 = 0.0665 moles

    Moles of tris = 0/067 / 2 0.0335 moles

    To this solution, 0.0150 mol of H + are added. H + reacts with tris giving Tris - HCl. So moles of tris - HCl = 0.0665 + 0.0150 = 0.0815 moles

    Moles of tris = 0.0335 - 0.015 = 0.018 moles

    When all the 0.018 moles of Tris are consumed, the remaining capacity of the buffer is exhausted.

    So moles of HCl to be added = 0.018 moles.

    Volume of Hcl = moles / molarity = 0.018 moles / 10.0 M = 0.0018 L = 1.8 mL
