Answer:
1. Here, we will use the Henderson Equation for the calculation of pH.
Molar mass of lactic acid = 90.08g/mol ; Molar mass of sodium lactate = 112.06 g/mol
Given Ka value of lactic acid = 38 x 10-4 ; pKa = 2.42
Moles of acid = 2.0/90.08 = 0.0222 ; Moles of base = 0.0401
Molarity of acid = 0.0222/0.5 = 0.0444 ; Molarity of base = 0.0802
pH = pKa + log (base/acid) = 2.42 + log (0.0802/0.0444) = 2.67
2. 200 mL buffer contains = 0.02 moles of benzoic acid and 0.02 moles of sodium benzoate
5.0 mL of 0.10 HBr contains = 5x10-4 moles of HBr.
As HBr is strong acid. Total volume of Solution = 205 mL
Now the moles of benzoic acid are 0.0195 and sodium benzoate are 0.0205 at the equilibrium.
[Acid] = 0.0951 M and [Base] = 0.1000 M
pH = pKa + log(Base/Acid) = 4.20 + 0.022 = 4.222
3. pH of buffer = 4.26
pKa = 4.86 (Ka = 1.38 x 10-5)
log(base/acid) = 4.26 - 4.86 = -0.6
Base/acid = 0.2511
Base = 0.2511Acid
Molar mass of acid = 74.08 g/mol; Molar mass of sodium salt = 96.07 g/mol
Depending upon the concentration of common ion, we can take any amount of salt.
E.g [0.1 M] total is the total concentration of ions (say acid + base)
C2H5COONa + C2H5COOH = 0.1 moles (or 0.1 M)
and C2H5COONa = 0.2511 x C2H5COOH
C2H5COOH + 0.2511 C2H5COOH = 0.1 or acid = 0.0799 moles or 0.0799 M
C2H5COONa = 0.1 - 0.0799 = 0.0201 moles or 0.0201 M
pH = 4.86 + log(0.0201/0.0799) = 4.26 (PROVED)
Grams of C2H5COONa required = 0.0201 mol x 96.07 g/mol = 1.931 g
