What volume (in milliliters) of 0.200 M NaOH should be added to a 0.125 L solution of 0.0280 M glycine hydrochloride (pKa1 = 2.350, pKa2 = 9.778) to adjust the pH to 2.73?
pKa1 = 2.350
pKa2 = 9.778
glycine moles = 0.125 x 0.0280
= 0.0035 mol
H2A+ + OH- ---------------> HA
0.0035 x -
0.0035-x - x
pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]
2.73 = 2.350 + log [x / 0.0035-x]
[x / 0.0035-x] = 2.3988
x = 8.396 x 10^-3 - 2.3988 x
x = 2.47 x 10^-3
volume of NaOH = moles / concentration
= 0.00247 / 0.200
volume of NaOH = 0.0123 L
volume of NaOH = 12.4 mL
