A buffer solution contains 0.14 mol of ascorbic acid
(HC6H7O6) and 0.84 mol of sodium
ascorbate (NaC6H7O6) in 2.80
L.
The Ka of ascorbic acid
(HC6H7O6) is Ka =
8e-05.
(a) What is the pH of this buffer?
pH =
(b) What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.07 mol of
NaOH? (assume no volume change)
pH =
(c) What is the pH of the original buffer after the addition of
0.21 mol of HI? (assume no volume change)
pH =
