If you were to add 10.0mL of 0.10M sodium acetate solution, what is the amount of CH3COOH(mol), Amount of CH3COO-(mol), and the predicted pH by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?
Given:
Start with sodium acetate
Add HCl
Initial Burette reading: 6.70ml
Final Burette reading: 9.80mL
Amount of HCl added(mol): 3.1 x 10^-4 mol
firstly the number of moles of sodium acetate is found
number of moles =( molarity * volume in ml ) / 1000
which is found to be 0.001 moles
then themoles of acetic acid formed is found by considering the moles of HCl (by the balanced chemical equation, both are found to be in one is to one equivalence )
therefore , the number of moles of acetic acid formed is 0.00031 moles
and remaining sodium acetate is 0.00069 moles
the pH is found by using henderson-hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa + log( conc. of salt / conc. of acid )
