Determine which solutions (list number) would be expected to have any buffer capacity. Show how these solutions meet this criteria. Does your data after the addition of acid indicate buffer capacity for these solutions?

Explanation / Answer

Q1 Given: pKa of acetic acid=4.76

pKa is the negative base-10 logarithm of acid dissociation constant (Ka ) of solution

pKa= -log10Ka

4.76=-log10Ka

-4.76=log10Ka

Ka =(10)-4.76

for acetic acid, Ka=1.375×10-5 M
