Question
Find the volume of HA/Na is needed for the buffer when we have a desired ph of 4.7, a ka of 3.04• 10^-5, and a total volume of 10 ml. We do not know the volume of HA or NA, that is what we are trying to find   
ements Target pH of buffer solution to be prepared 4.7 ph Average value of K (average of the three K values above) K = 3.04x1

Answer #1

pH = 4.7

Ka = 3.04 x 10^-5

pKa = -log Ka = 4.517

concentration of HA = NaA = 0.10 M

volume of HA = x

volume of NaA = 10 - x

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

4.7 = 4.517 + log [10 - x / x ]

[10 - x / x ] = 1.524

10 - x = 1.524 x

x = 3.96

volume of HA = 3.96 mL

volume of NaA = 6.04 mL
