150 gallons of citric acid (50% concentration) into 36,000 gallons of water with 7.3 pH? How to determine the effect on pH from citric acid dump?

01 January 1970 1 952 Report

We pumped 150 gallons of citric acid (50% concentration) into 36,000 gallons of water in a 2 hour span. Is there any type of formula to determine the effect of the citric acid dump on the water with 7.3 pH?

I am mostly looking for a formula I can use in the future to determine the effect on the pH when acid or a base is dumped into water.
