  1. If you are to prepare a 1.000 L of a 0.100 M buffer at pH 5.00 using the CH3COOH/ Na+CH3COO- buffer system (pKa 4.76a), answer the following questions:
    1. What is the molar ratio of the base to acid at pH 5.0?
    2. The concentration of the buffer (0.100 M in this example) refers to the sum of the weak acid and its conjugate base. Given this information, what is the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base at pH 5.0?
    3. Given the volume (1.000 L) of the buffer, how many moles of the acetic acid and sodium acetate will you mix to dissolve in 1 L of water to prepare this buffer?
    4. If you are to start with the acetic acid only, how many moles of acetic acid do you need? How many moles of NaOH need to be added to the acetic acid to generate enough acetate to form the buffer of pH 5.0?

    To understand how buffers use reserves of conjugate acid and conjugate base to counteract the effects of acid or base addition on pH. A buffer is a mixture of a conjugate acid-base pair. In other words, it is a solution that contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. For example, an acetic acid buffer consists of acetic acid, CH3COOH, and its conjugate base, the acetate ion CH3COO−. Because ions cannot simply...
