What amount of HCl gas must be added to 1.00L of a buffer solution that contains [aceticacid]=2.0M and [acetate]=1.0M in order to produce a solution with pH= 4.19?
no of moles of acetic acid = molarity * volume in L
= 2*1 = 2moles
no of moles of acetate = 1*1 = 1 moles
no of moles of HCl = x
PH = PKa + log[Acetate]/[Acetic acid]
4.19 = 4.74 + log1-x/2+x
log1-x/2+x = 4.19-4.74
log1-x/2+x = -0.55
1-x/2+x = 10-0.55
1-x/2+x = 0.2818
1-x = 0.2818*(2+x)
x = 0.3404
no of moles of HCl = 0.3404 moles
mass of HCl = no of moles * gram molar mass
= 0.3404*36.5 = 12.4246g >>>>> answer
