1a) A buffer solution is composed of 1.036 g of KH2PO4 and 4.424 g of na2hpo4. ( for dihydrogen phosphate ion is 6.2*10^-8.) What is the pH of the buffer solution?
b) What mass of KH2PO must be added to decrease the buffer solution pH by 0.10 unit from the value calculated in part a?
2)Lactic acid (CH3CHOHCO2H) is found in sour milk, in sauerkraut, and in muscles after activity. (Ka for lactic acid = 1.4 × 10-4.) If 2.03 g of NaCH3CHOHCO2, sodium lactate, is added to 5.00 × 102 mL of 0.160 M lactic acid, what is the pH of the resulting buffer solution? |
