For H2(g) + I2(g) <=> 2HI(g), equilibrium concentrations are [H2] = 0.20, [I2] = 0.10 and [HI] = 0.60 mol dm^-3. Write Kc, calculate its value and determine its units.

A buffer contains 0.100 mol HA and 0.150 mol A^- with pKa = 4.76. Add 0.0100 mol HCl without changing volume significantly. Assuming complete reaction with A^-, calculate the new pH using pH = pKa + log10([A^-]/[HA]) and explain how buffering occurs.
