Steps to the problem
1. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction.1
2. Dilute the substances to represent the effect of changing volume on concentrations
3. Allow the limiting reagent to be consumed 100%2
4.  Examine what remains:
Xs H3O+? pH determined from this concentration.3
Xs OH-? pH=14+log[OH-]
Xs Weak acid? Write the Ka reaction to find [H3O+]
Xs Weak Base? Write the Ka reaction to find [OH-]
Xs Buffer? Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
