1. Calculate the buffer capacity for 100 mL of buffer if 12.02 mL of 0.09978 M NaOH was used to change the pH by 0.54 units.
a. 0.022 b. 0.00022 c.12.22 d.0.22
2. Calculate the pH of a buffer with 0.10 M benzoic acid and 0.10 M sodium benzoate. Use activity coefficient table 8-1 in the (9th edition) textbook to determine the activities for the ions (benzoate ion =C6H5CO2¯). The pKa of benzoic acid is 4.20.
a. 4.20 b. 4.28 c.4.10 d.4.35
3. Suppose you have a solution of benzoic acid and sodium benzoate with an ionic strength of 0.19 M. Calculate the activity coefficient for the benzoate ion. The benzoate ion has an ion size of 600 pm.
