beaker with 185 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M.  A student adds 7.00 mL of a 0.300 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740. Express your answer numerically to two decimal places. Use a minus ( −− ) sign if the pH has decreased.
