it Buffer solution Answer the toflowing questions based on Act ICHoom , show you cekculation clearly) cooH) has pke of 4.75. (Kw- 10 1 Cekoulate the Ne ot 2. What t is the pH range of buffers can be made of acetic acid and acetate and A) 3. For a buffer solution of pH-4.25 made of acetic acld and acetate (HA a calculate [H'1 in the buffer b. Calculate [OH] in the buffer (IH' IOH1-104) c. Calculate [A]/[HA] in the buffer d. Calculate (HAl and [A] if the above buffer's concentration is 0.20 M in total (HA] A 0.2). Calculate how much acetic acid in grams is needed to make 2.00 L buffer mention above (the molar mass of acetic acid is 60.0 g/mol) e.

Explanation / Answer

Q1.

if pKa = 4.75

then

Ka = 10^-pKa = 10^4.75 = 1.8*10^-5

Q2

ph range for this buffer, is +/-1 uinits of the pKa data so

pH min = 3.75, pH max = 5.75

Q3

a)

i

[H+] from:

pH = 4.25

[H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-4.25 = 0.000056 M

ii

[OH-] = (10^-14)/(0.000056) = 1.785*10^-10

iii

pH = pKa + log(A-/HA)

4.25 = 4.75 + log(A/HA)

A/HA = 10^(4.25 - 4.75) =

A-/HA =0.3162

d.

A- +HA = 0.2

A- = 0.3162*HA then

0.3162*HA + HA = 0.2

HA = 0.2/(0.3162+1) = 0.15195 M

A- = 0.3162*0.2 =  0.06324M

e.

mol of acid = MV = 0.15195 *2 = 0.3039 mol

mass = mol*MW = 0.3039*60 = 18.23 g of acid
