To calculate the pH of a buffer solution, we need to consider the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])

Before the addition of HCl, the buffer consists of HNO2 (the acid, HA) and NaNO2 (the conjugate base, A-). The pKa can be calculated using the acid dissociation constant, Ka. In this case, the pKa for HNO2 can be found in a table or using a Ka value.

Next, we need to calculate the concentrations of HNO2 and NaNO2 before the addition of HCl. The concentration of HNO2 is given as 0.120 M, and the concentration of NaNO2 is given as 0.150 M.

After the addition of HCl, we need to consider the reaction that occurs. HCl is a strong acid, so it completely dissociates in water to form H+ and Cl- ions. The H+ ions react with the HNO2 in the buffer solution, converting it to water and NO2-. In this case, 1.00 mL of 12.0 M HCl has been added, so we need to calculate the number of moles of H+ added.

To calculate the new concentrations of HNO2 and NaNO2, we subtract the moles of HNO2 that reacted from the original concentration of HNO2, and we add the moles of NO2- produced from the reaction to the original concentration of NaNO2. Then, we divide these new concentrations by the total volume of the solution to get the final concentrations.

Finally, we can substitute the calculated concentrations of HA and A- into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the pH of the buffer solution after the addition of HCl.

Note: The calculation steps provided above give a general overview of how to approach the problem. Performing the actual calculations may differ depending on the specific values given in the question.

Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
