Answer:
0.804g of NaHCO₃ you must add
Explanation:
pKa of HCO₃⁻/CO₃²⁻ is 10.32.
It is possible to find pH of a buffer by using H-H equation, thus:
pH = pka + log [A⁻] / [HA]
<em>Where [HA] is concentration of acid (HCO₃⁻) and [A⁻] is concentration of conjugate acid (CO₃²⁻).</em>
Moles of CO₃²⁻ = K₂CO₃ are:
4.00g ₓ (1mol / 138.206g) = 0.0289 moles CO₃²⁻
Replacing:
10.80 = 10.32 + log [0.0289] / [HCO₃⁻]
[HCO₃⁻] = 0.009570 moles you need to add to obtain the desire pH
As molar mass of NaHCO₃ is 84.007g/mol, mass of NaHCO₃ is:
0.009570 moles ₓ (84.007g / mol) =
<h3>0.804g of NaHCO₃ you must add</h3>
For a chemical reaction, the results would be the same with different amounts of barium chloride present if barium chloride is not the limiting reactant of the reaction. The limiting reactant is the substance that is totally consumed when the reaction proceeds to completion. In other words, it dictates the amount of products that will be produced. Otherwise, if barium chloride is the limiting reactant, the amount of barium chloride present would definitely affect the results.
The symbol used to indicate a substance is (aq).
