Detailed Solution
0.02 unit change of PH occurs when 0.12/60 mol of acid is added to 250 ml of buffer solution.Therefore, 0.02 unit change of PH occurs when 4( 2x 10-3 ) moles of acid is added to 1000 ml of buffer solution .Therefore ,1unit change in PH occurs, when moles of acid added to 1000 ml of solution=........?= 4×2×10-32×10-2 = 0.4
