acid base - Finding pH after dilution?




Assume that pKa is 4.76


Mix 50 mL of 0.1 M HA and 50 mL 0.1 M NaA. This is solution (i). Calculate concentrations of HA and AX, measure the pH.


Then, mix 10mL of solution (i) and 90mL of water. Calculate [HA] and [AX], and measure the pH.



How do I approach these calculations? I have 13 of these to do, these are the first two.


Equation is: pH=pKa+log([AX][HA])


For the first one, I got, 4.76+log(0.10.1)=4.76

But I don't know if that's correct. How would I approach the subsequent problem when water is added?
