Calculate how to prepare 750 ml of 0.25 M sodium formate buffer at pH 4. Use your textbook to determine the molecular weight and pKa of the acid and base. Calculate the grams of sodium formate and number of milliliters of formic acid required. THEN using this stock solution, calculate and describe how you would prepare 100 ml of a 10 mM formate buffer, pH 3.5. By the way, what is the molarity of formic acid? with pH 7.6 and...
23. A 1.0 L buffer solution is prepared with 0.25 M formic acid (HCOOH) and 0.50 M sodium formate (HCOONa). HCOOH(aq) + H2O(aq) – HCOO (aq) + H30+(aq) pKa = 3.74 What is the pH of this buffer solution? (A) 3.74 (B) 4.04 (C) 4.50 (D) 4.20
Describe the preparation of 2 liters of 0.25 formate buffer, pH 4.5, starting with 1M formic acid and solid sodium formate (HCOONa). pKa of HCOOH, formic acid is 3.75
You combine 0.75 moles formate and 0.85 moles formic acid to make a buffer solution. The Ka of formic acid is 1.8xl0'4 what is the pH of the solution? With the same initial solution of 0.75 moles formate and 0.85 moles formic acid to make a buffer solution. The Ka of formic acid is 1.8xl0'4. You add 8g sodium hydroxide to this solution, what is the new pH? With the same initial solution of 0.75 moles formate and 0.85 moles...
Suppose you want to prepare a buffer with a pH of 4.35 using formic acid. What ratio of [sodium formate]/[formic acid] do you need to make this buffer? Formic acid has a Ka of 1.8x10-4. Show work please.
Your lab TA asks you to prepare a buffer solution with a pH of 7.40. The following reagents are all available to you: 550 mL of 0.200 M formic acid, 450 mL of 0.200 M hypochlorous acid, solid sodium formate and solid sodium hypochlorite. a) Which 2 ingredients will you use to prepare the desired buffer? b) What is the base/acid ratio in the desired buffer? c) What mass (in g) of solid base must you dissolve in the corresponding...
QUESTION 3 To make a buffer of formic acid (Ka = 1.8 x 10-4) with a pH = 4.00, what ratio of formic acid to sodium formate is required? (Notice that I am asking for the ratio of acid to base, not base to acid!) a) 1.25 b) 0.56 c) 0.82 d) 1.87 QUESTION 4 If you find that you need an acid to base ratio of 4.23 and you are using 50.00mL of a 1.00M acid solution, what volume...
Starting from 0.5 M formic acid and solid sodium formate. Describe how to prepare 5 L of Formate buffer, pH = 4, Ka =1.78×10-4
In the buffer lab, students were asked to prepare a phosphate buffer given a target pH. Malic acid (H2C4H4O5, Mr = 134.088 g/mol) is a diprotic acid in which the pKa1 for dissociation of the first proton is 3.40 and the pKa2 for dissociation of the second proton is 5.11. In a similar scenario, given 1.650 grams of NaHC4H4O5 (Mr = 156.070 g/mol), prepare 100.0 mL of a pH = 3.75 buffer. Determine the identity and mass of material needed...
Calculate the mass of solid formic acid (MM = 46.0 g/mol - Ka = 1.8 x 10-4 ) and sodium formate (MM = 68 g/mol) needed to make 100 mL a 0.2 M formic acid buffer that is 1:3 (conjugate base/weak acid). Also predict the pH of this buffer.
