Answer #1

Answer

Volume of 17.6N acetic acid required = 0.568ml

mass of sodium acetate required = 0.8204g

Explanation

mass of

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])

4.76 = 4.76 + log( [CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH])

log([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH]) = 0

[CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH] = 1

[CH3COO-]= [CH3COOH]

buffer concentration = 0.2M

[CH3COOH] = 0.1M

[CH3COO-] = 0.1M

Volume of CH3COOH required = 0.1M × 100ml/ 17.6M = 0.568ml

moles of CH3COO- required =( 0.1/1000ml)× 100ml = 0.01mol

moles of CH3COONa required = 0.01mol

mass of CH3COONa required = 0.01mol × 82.04g/mol

mass of CH3COONa required = 0.8204g
