Answer :
(1) pH = 1.27
(2) pH = 13.35
(3) The given solution is not a buffer.
Explanation :
<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>
Concentration of HCl = 
As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.
So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= 
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
![pH=-\log [H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D)


<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>
Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M
As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.
So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
![pOH=-\log [OH^-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BOH%5E-%5D)


Now we have to calculate the pH.

<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>
Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.
It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.
As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.
So, the given solution is not a buffer.
The change of the statue of liberty from copper to green is an example of a chemical change.
<h3>Physical and chemical change</h3>
A physical change does not involve the formation of new substances and the composition of the substance does not change. However, in a chemical change, a new substance is formed and the composition of the substance changes.
The statement that reflect a chemical change is;
- The Statue of Liberty’s metal tarnishes from copper to green.

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

Explanation :
Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :
- First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
- Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
- Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
- If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
- If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion
at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present. - Now balance the charge.
The half reactions in the basic solution are :
Reduction :
......(1)
Oxidation :
.......(2)
Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.
The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,
