HFor, has a value eyaal to about 1.8 x A sudenti, asked to prepare a buffer having 10 a pH of 3.55 from a solution of formic acid and a solution of,odium formate having the same make How many of the solution should she add 20 HFar solution to the to L of the buffer (see discussion of buffers.) NGF NaF mL. NaF ml. 5. How many ml of 0.10 M NaoH should the student add to 20 ml 0.10 M HFor if she wished to prepare a buffer with a pH of 3.55, the same as in Problem 4?

Explanation / Answer

pH = 3.55

pKa = 3.74

millimoles of HF = 20 x 0.1 = 2

HF     +    NaOH   ---------------> NaF   + H2O

2              0.1V                            0            0

2-0.1V       0                               0.1 V

pH = pKa + log [NaF / HF]

3.55 = 3.74 + log [0.1 V / 2 - 0.1V]

[0.1 V / 2 - 0.1V] = 0.646

0.1 V = 1.29 - 0.0646 V

V = 7.84

volume of NaOH = 7.84 mL
