Question

1) What is the pH-value of a buffer formed from 5.00 mL of 0.500 M acetic acid and 10.00 mL of 0.100 M NaOH solution? 2) A student needs 0.500 L of a 0.250 M sulfuric acid solution. How much of the concentrated sulfuric acid (98%) does he need? Show calculations. 1) What is the pH-value of a buffer formed from 5.00 mL of 0.500 M acetic acid and 10.00 mL of 0.100 M NaOH solution? 2) A student needs 0.500 L of a 0.250 M sulfuric acid solution.

Explanation / Answer

1)

CH3COOH= 5.00ml of 0.500M

number of moles of CH3COOH= 0.500M x 0.005L= 0.0025 moles

NaOH=10.00ml of 0.100M

number of moles of NaOH= 0.100M x 0.010L= 0.001 moles

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

0.0025                0.001                            0

-0.001                -0.001                         +0.001

0.0015                   0                              0.001

after reaction , i,e after formation of buffer

number of moles of CH3COOH = 0.0015 moles

numberr of moles of CH3COONa = 0.001 moles

PKa of CH3COOH = 4.75

PH= PKa+ log[salt]/[acid]

PH= 4.75 + log(0.001/0.0015)

PH=4.573

PH= 4.57.

2) Volume = 0.500L = 500 ml

Molarity = 0.250M

molar mass of H2SO4 = 98 gram/mole

Molarity= maas/molar mass x1000/volume in ml

mass= Molarity x molar mass x volum in ml/1000

mass = 0.250 x 98 x 500/1000 =12.25 grams

Mass of H2SO4 = 12.15 grams.
