What would be the pH of a buffer that contains 0.987 grams of Nitrous acid (HNO2) and 1.242 grams of sodium Nitrite (NaNO2), in 250ml of solution?(Ka of Nitrous acid = 4.5X10-4)
Molar mass of HNO2,
MM = 1*MM(H) + 1*MM(N) + 2*MM(O)
= 1*1.008 + 1*14.01 + 2*16.0
= 47.018 g/mol
mass(HNO2)= 0.987 g
use:
number of mol of HNO2,
n = mass of HNO2/molar mass of HNO2
=(0.987 g)/(47.02 g/mol)
= 2.099*10^-2 mol
volume , V = 2.5*10^2 mL
= 0.25 L
use:
Molarity,
M = number of mol / volume in L
= 2.099*10^-2/0.25
= 8.397*10^-2 M
Molar mass of NaNO2,
MM = 1*MM(Na) + 1*MM(N) + 2*MM(O)
= 1*22.99 + 1*14.01 + 2*16.0
= 69 g/mol
mass(NaNO2)= 1.242 g
use:
number of mol of NaNO2,
n = mass of NaNO2/molar mass of NaNO2
=(1.242 g)/(69 g/mol)
= 1.8*10^-2 mol
volume , V = 2.5*10^2 mL
= 0.25 L
use:
Molarity,
M = number of mol / volume in L
= 1.8*10^-2/0.25
= 7.2*10^-2 M
HNO2 and NaNO2 forms buffer
Ka = 4.5*10^-4
pKa = - log (Ka)
= - log(4.5*10^-4)
= 3.347
use:
pH = pKa + log {[conjugate base]/[acid]}
pH = pKa + log {[NaNO2]/[HNO2]}
= 3.347+ log {7.2*10^-2/8.397*10^-2}
= 3.28
Answer: 3.28
