Question

The values you calculate for this Prelab Exercise are required for your experiment. Determine the [H_3 O^+] of the eight buffer solution made by mixing 1.10 M acetic acid and 0.900 M sodium acetate solution according to the following volumes. The pK_4, for acetic acid, CH_3 COOH (HAc), is 4.745. Show a detailed calculation for one of the solution. Determine the following, showing your work: The [H_3 O^+], in M, of 10.00 mL of 0.100 M NaOH after adding 10.00 mL of indicator solution. The [H_3 O^+], in M, of 10.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl after adding 10.00mL of the indicator solution.

Explanation / Answer

For the buffer

HA +H2O ----------------> H3O+ + A-

[acid] [conjugate base] due to common ion effect

Thus Ka = [H3O+] [conjugate base] /[acid]

or [H3O+] = Ka [acid]/[conjugate base]

pKa of acetic acid = 4.75 and thus Ka = 1.8x 10-5

Thus
