A researcher wants to make a buffer of pH 4.60 using nitrous acid (Ka = 4.0 x 10^-4) and sodium nitrite. a. Determine the approximate ratio of the two buffer compoents that she should use to get the desired pH. b. Evaluate the researcher's decison to use the nitrous acid/nitrite buffering system.
The nitrous acid/sodium nitrite conjugate pair has been chosen to prepare a buffer solution. What should the concentration ratio of NO2-/HNO2 be if the desired pH of this buffer is 4.00? (Ka of HNO2 = 4.27 x 10-4)
A student needs to make a buffer solution with a pH of 5.08 using acetic acid and sodium hydroxide starting with 100.0 mL of 0.38 M acetic acid. Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide that should be added to achieve the desired pH.
During this part #3 of the lab, you will make 2 acetic acid buffer solutions (HC2H3O2/NaC2H3O2) of the same pH (pH = 4.0), but with different concentration of the components. Use the Henderson -Hasselbalch equation to perform the following calculations. The Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5 M. a. Buffer A: Calculate the mass of the solid sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) required to mix with 100 ml of 0.1 M acetic acid (HC2H3O2), to prepare a pH 4 buffer....
2. A biochemist wants to make 2.0 L of a 0.4 M acetic acid/acetate buffer with a pH of 5.5. (pK, 4.8) a. What volume and mass, respectively, of glacial (pure) acetic acid (CH,CO,H) and sodium acetate would she need? The density of a glacial acetic acid is 1.049 g/ml. (12 pts.) mol = 2.0L 0.4M=0.8.

A chemist needs to make a buffer solution with a pH of 4.25 with a solution that currently contains 465 mL of 0.0941 M NaOH. The chemist plans to use acetic acid as the weak acid in the buffer. a) what should be the molar ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer solution? b) how many moles of acetic acid would need to be added to neutralize all of the sodium hydroxide? c) how many moles of...
2. A Student wants to prepare 250.0 mL of pH 4.1 buffer solution. He is planning to use formic acid (HCOOH) and sodium formate (HCOONa) for this job. What should the mass of sodium formate that he should add to 250,0 mL of 0.20 M formic acid solution to prepare this buffer? (K =1.8x10 for formic acid.) 3. If 0.10 M solution of a weak acid has a pH of 3.90, find the Ka for the acid.
pH of 9.2 using ammonium nitrate: pKa= 9.24 2 Introduiction The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, or A-1 HAl relates the pH of a buffer with the pKo of the acid and the concentration of the conjugate base A- and the monoprotic acid HA. In cq. (1), pH-_ log[H+], pK, =-log Ka, and [J]i and [JIe are the initial and equilibrium molar concentration of the Jth species, respectively. The buffering capacity of the buffer is given by [1] Ka H+ where K,e-1.0 ×...
Solutions available 1.Acetic acid (CHCOH, K = 1.8 10) and sodium acetate (NaCHO). 2.Ammonium chloride (NHCl, K for NH = 5.6 10) and ammonia (NH). (The buffer will be prepared by choosing the appropriate acid-base pair, calculating the molar ratio of acid to base that will produce the assigned pH, and then mixing the calculated amounts of the two compounds with enough deionized water to make 200. mL of buffer solution. A solution with approximately the same pH as...
A buffer solution is able to maintain a constant pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to the buffer. Consider what happens when 1 mL of a 5 M solution is added or 0.005 mol of HCl are added to a 100.0 mL solution acetic acid buffer that contains 0.0100 mol of Acetic acid, HC,H,O,, and 0.0100 mol of sodium acetate, NaC,H,O,. The initial concentration of both the acid and the base are 0.0100 mol/ 0.1000 L...
