Question

Formic Acid (1.0M)-Sodium Formate (68.01 g/mol)
Paragraph from page 4:
Prepare 0.10 M solutions with volumes of 100mL of both the assigned acid and it's base. For most of the acids this will involve diluting a 1.0M solution of the acid. For most of the bases this will involve adding the appropriate mass of the base to a 100mL volumetric flask and diluting to mark.

Explanation / Answer

To prepare one L of 1M stock solution of both acid and conjugate base

1L of 1M formic acid stock solution

Molar mass of formic acid HCOOH = 46g/mol

molarity = number of moles /V(L)

= (46g/46g/mol) /1L = 1 M

Thus dissolving 46g of formic acid in 1 L of solution gives 1M solution.

!L of 1M sodium formate solution

molar mass of sodium formate = 68.01g/mol

Molarity = (68.01g/68.01g/mol ) /1L

= 1M

Thus dissolving 68.01 g in 1 L solution gives 1M sodium formate.

Part II

preparation of 0.1M solution of acid and conjugate base

V x1M = 100mL x 0.1M

thus V = 10mL

Thus diluting 10mL of 1M stock solution into 100mL gives 0.1M solution.

(same for both acid and sodium formate)

Mass required to make 100mL of 0.1 M solution

For acid solution

mass = molarity x molar mass x V(L)

= 0.1mol/L x46g/mol x0.1L

= 0.46g

similarly mass of sodium formate in 100mL of 0.1M solution

= 0.1mol/L x 68.01g/mol x 0.1L

= 0.68g
