The mixture Na2CO3 + NaHCO3 is a buffer in the range 9,2-10,8 pH.
Sodium carbonate and and sodium hydrogen carbonate form a buffer solution.
HF
metals and salts that precipitate it - e.g silver nitrate would remove OH ions from solution. Acids would also tend to remove OH ions from solution
2.5gm require 100ml of solution 100ml solution require 2.5gm 50ml require 50x2.5/100=1.25ml
The unknown substance would have to be a basic solution. At least more basic than the initial solution. The pH scale ranges from 0,Most acidic, to 14, Most Basic. If the pH of your solution increases when the unknown substance is added, then it would lead you to believe that the added substance is of a basic nature.

A buffer solution is one involving a weak base/weak acid with its conjugate acid/base. In a buffer solution, the pH must be changed to only a small amount. Thus, any solution with a STRONG acid or a STRONG base is not a successful buffer solution because there would be a relatively large change in the initial pH.

Above 60 °C, it gradually decomposes into sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide. 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 Further heating converts the carbonate into the oxide: Na2CO3 → Na2O + CO2
500 mL * 100(mMol/mL) = 50 mMol NaHCO3 , hence50 mMol NaHCO3 = 50(mMol) * 84(mg/mMol) = 4200 mg = 4.2 g NaHCO3 in 500 mL

The buffer solution is used to calibrate the meter. Usually two buffer solutions are used to do this. One is close to the range of the sample that will be measured, like the 7.0 buffer that you mention could be used for aquarium water. The other solution would be more acidic, like a 4.0 buffer solution. The process is to calibrate in one solution, rinse the probe, then calibrate in the other solution. This back and forth is done until the meter is reading the desired buffer and is stable. In other words, you would finish with the 7.0 buffer solution when it is reading exactly 7.0 PH, with no further adjustments after switching from the 4.0 solution. The probe should be rinsed with PH neutral DI water and shaken dry between each between each measurement so that solutions are not mixed. The storage solution is used to store the glass probe for long periods of time. A few drops of storage solution should be dripped into the probe cap before replacing it for storage. The storage solution is just a buffer that has some anti-bacterial additives to keep stuff from growing in it. The calibration buffer can be used for short term storage though. The glass probe should NEVER be allowed to dry out for long periods and should be rinsed with DI water before storage. It should NOT be stored in DI water though. Only buffer solution or storage solution should be used.
Water is a physical object and is therefore a substance. Pure water, however, is not a solution or a mixture. Water with dissolved solutes would be a solution and mixture.
it is called a buffer. there would be minimal change in pH value if this solution is added
