From the calculations, the pH of the buffer is 3.1.

<h3>What is the pH of the buffer solution?</h3>

The  Henderson-Hasselbach equation comes in handy when we deal with the pH of a buffer solution. From that equation;

pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]

Amount of the salt = 25/1000 *  0.50 M = 0.0125 moles

Amount of the acid = 75/1000 *  1.00 M = 0.075 moles

Total volume = ( 25 + 75)/1000 = 0.1 L

Molarity of salt = 0.0125 moles/0.1 L = 0.125 M

Molarity of the acid = 0.075 moles/0.1 L = 0.75 M

Given that the pKa of lactic acid is 3.86

pH = 3.86 + log( 0.125/0.75)

pH = 3.1

Arada [10]
The concentration may be expressed as % m/m, this is the mass of ions in 100 mass units of solution, whose formula is:

% m/m = [mass of ions / mass of solution]*100

Then,

%m/m = [8.5*10^ -3 grams of calcium ions] / [490 grams of solution] * 100 =

% m/m = 1.74 * 10^ -5 %

Answer: 1.74 * 10 ^ -5 %
