Preparing Buffer Solutions: Calculating the Number of Grams of
Conjugate Base Needed
Use the table of K values given with this problem to choose the
best weak acid to start from for making a buffer that holds the pH
of the solution at 3.20. Make your selection so that you maximize
the capacity of the buffer.
You select a 200.0 ml volumetric flask to which you add 54.00 mL of
a 2.90 M solution of the weak acid you just selected. To finish
preparing your buffer you must now add the sodium salt of the
conjugate base. How many grams of the sodium salt of your conjugate
base must you add so that when you finally fill the flask to the
mark with deionized water the buffer will have a pH of 3.20.
| Weak Acid | Ka |
| CH3COOH (Acetic Acid) | 1.8 X 10-5 |
| C6H5COOH (Benzoic Acid) | 6.5 X 10-5 |
| CH3CH2CH2COOH (Butanoic Acid) | 1.5 X 10-5 |
| HCOOH (Formic Acid) | 1.8 X 10-4 |
| HBrO (Hypobromous Acid) | 2.8 X 10-9 |
| HNO2 (Nitrous Acid) | 4.6 X 10-4 |
| HClO (Hypochlorous Acid) | 2.9 X 10-8 |
| CH3CH2COOH (Propanoic Acid) | 1.3 X 10-5 |
| HCN (Hydrocyanic Acid) | 4.9 X 10-10 |
I posted this question before and they got the answer of 8.00g which is NOT CORRECT, so I was looking someone else to help me with this.

In my lab we found OUR average molarity to be 0.83334 M, but we used 3% H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), so I'm not sure how to do this or what numbers to even use.
7. Convert the average molarity of hydrogen peroxide into % (wt) of hydrogen peroxide (the density of the solution = 1.009g/ml).
8. Comparing the above calculated % of hydrogen peroxide with the known (labeled on the bottle) value, calculate the % experimental error.

A sample is analyzed to determine its iron content Fe2+ via a redox titration with potassium chromate as the titrant. In the titration Fe2+ is oxidized to Fe3+ and CrO4 2- is reduced to Cr 3+. What is the percent by mass of iron in the sample if 0.9087g of the sample required 45.68mL of a 0.04322 M K2CrO4 solution to reach the endpoint?
I worked out the balanced equation to be:
8H+ + 3Fe2+ + CrO4 2- = 3Fe3+ + Cr3+ + 4H2O

A solution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated with dilute HCl and a precipitate formed. The solution was filtered and H2S was bubbled through the acidic solution. A precipitate again formed and was filtered off. Then, the pH was raised to about 8 and H2S was again bubbled through the solution. This time, no precipitate formed. Finally, the solution was treated with a sodium carbonate solution, which resulted in formation of a precipitate. Which metal ions were definitely present, which were definitely absent, and which may or may not have been present in the original mixture? Ag+, Zn2+, Co2+, Li+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Sn2+, Mg2+, Hg22+ Sb3+, Hg2+, Pb2+
