Answer #1

Solution:

Number of moles of Na2CO3 = mass / molar mass

= 4.500 g / 106 g mol-1 = 0.0425 mol

Hence,

[Na2CO3] = number of mol / volume

= 0.0425 mol / 0.150 L

= 0.283 M

pH = pka + log [Na2CO3] / [NaHCO3]

9.50 = 10.25 + log 0.283 / [NaHCO3]

log [0.283] - log [NaHCO3] = - 0.75

log [NaHCO3] = 0.75 + log 0.283 = 0.75 - 0.55 = 0.20

[NaHCO3] = antilog 0.20 = 1.58 M

Hence, mass of NaHCO3

= Molarity x molar mass x volume in L

= 1.58 M x 84.0 g mol-1 x 0.150 L = 19.908 g
