: Citric acid, H3C6H5O7, is a triprotic acid. Consider a buffer system comprising H2C6H5O7 - and HC6H5O7 2- ions. What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when NaOH is added to a buffer containing H2C6H5O7 - and HC6H5O7 2- ?

The Net reaction is    

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that the buffers are

                and  

When NaOH is added the Net ionic reaction would be

Net ionic equation are as follows
