Consider a buffer system consisting of Benzoic acid (pKa = 4.20)
and sodium benzoate,
a) Would this buffer system be an
appropriate choice to maintain a pH of 8.5? ues or no
b) To produce a buffer with a pH
= 4.55, what mass of sodium benzoate (FM = 104.10) must be
dissolved in 500 mL of 0.65 M benzoic acid?
c) What is the resulting pH if
45-mL of 0.08-M HCl is added to 250 mL your buffer?
What should the molar concentrations of benzoic acid and sodium
benzoate be in a solution that is buffered at a pH of 4.58 and has
a freezing point of -2.0 ∘C? (Assume complete dissociation of
sodium benzoate and a density of 1.01 g/mL for the solution.)
What should the molar concentrations of benzoic acid and sodium
benzoate be in a solution that is buffered at a pH of 4.78 and has
a freezing point of -2.0 ∘C? (Assume complete dissociation of
sodium benzoate and a density of 1.01 g/mL for the solution.)

What should the molar concentrations of benzoic acid and sodium
benzoate be in a solution that is buffered at a pH of 4.86 and has
a freezing point of -2.0 ∘ C ? (Assume complete dissociation of
sodium benzoate and a density of 1.01 g/mL for the solution.)
Benzoic acid is a weak acid that has antimicrobial properties.
Its sodium salt, sodium benzoate, is a preservative found in foods,
medications, and personal hygiene products. Benzoic acid ionizes in
water:
C6H5COOH⇌C6H5COO−+H+
The pKa of this reaction is 4.2. In a 0.57 M
solution of benzoic acid, what percentage of the molecules are
ionized?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the
appropriate units.
Calculate the pH of a 0.01 M solution of sodium benzoate.
A: Dissociation constant of benzoic acid.
B: Calculate the hydrolysis constant of sodium benzoate.
C: Calculate the pH of the 0.01 M solution.
A buffer solution is prepared by dissolving 1.50 g each of
sodium benzoate, C6H5COONa, and benzoic acid, C6H5COOH (Ka = 6.45 ×
10-5), in 150.0 mL of solution. The molar mass of benzoic acid is
122.12 g/mol and that of sodium benzoate is 144.10 g/mol.
a) What is the pH of this buffer solution?
b) Which buffer component must be added to change the pH to
4.00? What mass of that component is required?
c) What volume of 2.0 M...
The Ka of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.45 x 10-5 . Sodium
benzoate (NaC6H5COO) is a common food preservative. If you dissolve
0.100 grams of sodium benzoate into 100.0 mL of water, what will be
the pH of this solution?
