    To find the mass of reagent to be added in the reaction, we need to determine the pH of the buffer. Using the following equation

    pH = pKa + log ([NH3] / [NH4+])

    = 9.26 + LOG (0.3 / 0.3)

    = 9.26

    [h+] = 5.5x10^-10 M, you need to increase that concentration for a ph of 8.6, [H+] needs to be 2.51x10^-9M

    2.51x10^-9 moles - 5.5x10^10 moles = 1.96x10^-9 moles

    1.96x10^-9 x 36.45g/mole = 7.14x10^-8 g

    So the mass of HCI that you should add to the reaction is 7.14x10^-8 g
