1) A buffer is prepared by mixing 152 mL of 0.452 M HCl and 0.495 L of 0.400 M sodium acetate.
a. What is the pH?
b. How many grams of KOH must be added to 0.500 L of the buffer to change the pH by 0.18 units?
2) A buffer is prepared by mixing 52.6 mL of 0.050 M sodium bicarbonate and 10.0 mL of 0.10 M NaOH.
a. What is the pH?
b. How many grams of HCl must be added to 25.0 mL of the buffer to change the pH by 0.07 units?
1 a)
Number of mmol of HCl
Number of mmol of sodium acetate
b)
0.5 L of buffer contains mmoles of acetic acid and mmol of sodium acetate. Let W mmol of KOH is added.
53-W mmol of acetic acid will remain uneutralised. 99.9+W mmol of acetate salt will be formed.
mmol
The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol
