Question 5

A. How many mL of 0.1 M CH3COONa must you add to 35.0 mL of 0.50 M CH3COOH to make a buffer of pH 4.7? [pKa of H3COONa is 4.75]

B. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate how many mL of 0.1 M HCl must you add to 100 mL of 0.10 M Tris base to make a buffer of pH 8.8? [pka of Tris Base is 8.08]

C. What is the pH when 25.0 mL of 0.200 M of H3COONa has been titrated with 35.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH? Write out the balanced chemical equation.

D. You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 4.68. You already have solution that contains 15.0 mmol of H3COONa. How many millimoles of H3COONa should you add to this solution?

Explanation / Answer

A. no of moles of CH3COOH = molarity * volume in L

                                                 = 0.5*0.035   = 0.0175

PH   = Pka + log[CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]

4.7 = 4.75 + log[CH3COONa]/CH3COOH]

log[CH3COONa]/CH3COOH] = 4.7-4.75

log[CH3COONa]/CH3COOH]   = -0.05

[CH3COONa]/CH3COOH]      = 10-0.05

[CH3COONa]/CH3COOH]       = 0.89

[CH3COONa]                           = 0.89*[CH3COOH]

                                                  = 0.89*0.0175

                                                  = 0.015575 moles

no of moles                               = molarity * volume in L

0.015575                                  = 0.1* volume in L

volume in L                            = 0.015575/0.1 = 0.15575L = 155.75ml >>>> answer

B. POH    = 14-PH

                  = 14-8.8 = 5.2

    PKb   = 14-PKa

             = 14-8.08 = 5.92

   POH   = PKb + log[salt]/[base]

5.2      = 5.92 + logx/base-x

logx/base-x    = 5.2-5.92

logx/base-x    = -0.72

x/base-x      = 10-0.72

x/base-x      = 0.19

x/0.01-x     = 0.19

x            = 0.19*(0.01-x)

x         = 0.00159

no of moles = molarity * volume in L

0.00159      = 0.1* volume in L

volume in L   = 0.0159L = 159ml >>>> answer

c. no of moles CH3COOH = molarity * volume in L

                                         = 0.2*0.025 = 0.005moles

no of moles of NaOH       = molarity * volume in L

                                           = 0.1*0.035   = 0.0035 moles

              CH3COOH + NaOH -----------> CH3COONa + H2O

I          0.005                0.0035                    0

C       -0.0035            -0.0035                     0.0035

E       0.0015                0                             0.0035

          PH = PKa + log[CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]

                 = 4.75 + log0.0035/0.0015

                  = 4.75 + 0.3679   = 5.1179

d.    PH = PKa + log[CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]

     4.68    = 4.75 + log15/[CH3COOH]

   log15/[CH3COOH]   = 4.68-4.75

log15/[CH3COOH]     = -0.07

15/[CH3COOH]       = 10-0.07

15/[CH3COOH]      = 0.85

[CH3COOH]        = 15/0.85   = 17.64 millimoles
