There are two ways to solve this problem. We can use the ICE method which is tedious and lengthy or use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation. This equation relates pH and the concentration of the ions in the solution. It is expressed as

pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA] 

 where pKa = - log [Ka]
[A] is the concentration of the conjugate base
[HA] is the concentration of the acid

Given:
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
NaOH added = 0.015 mol
HC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol
NaC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol

Solution:
pKa = - log ( 1.8x10^-5) = 4.74

[A] = 0.015 mol + 0.100 mol = .115 moles
[HA] = .1 - 0.015 = 0.085 moles

pH = 4.74 + log (.115/0.085)
pH = 4.87

Nataly [62]
E = mc^2
E = 8.90 * 10^12 Joules
c = 3 * 10^8 m/s
m = ????

8.90 * 10^12 = m * (3 * 10^8)^2
8.90 * 10^12 = m * 9 * 10^16
9.889 * 10^-4 kg = m <<<<< answer

Identify the situation where work is being done. Carrying a box of crayons across the room. Lifting a backpack off the floor Hol
Likurg_2 [28]
Lifting the backpack off the floor. Force is being applied in only one direction then (up) which is what constitutes as work. Carrying the box of crayons applies force in two directions (up and forward), which cancel each other out. Work has a vector, which is a quantity containing both direction and magnitude (one, finite direction, not two).

What volume of 0.307 m naoh must be added to 200.0ml of 0.425m acetic acid (ka = 1.75 x 10-5 ) to produce a buffer of ph = 4.250
Blababa [14]

The buffer solution target has a pH value smaller than that of pKw (i.e., pH < 7.) The solution is therefore acidic. It contains significantly more protons \text{H}^{+} than hydroxide ions \text{OH}^{-}. The equilibrium equation shall thus contain protons rather than a combination of water and hydroxide ions as the reacting species.

Assuming that x \; \text{L} of the 0.307 \text{mol} \cdot \text{dm}^{-3} sodium hydroxide solution was added to the acetic acid. Based on previous reasoning, x is sufficiently small that acetic acid was in excess, and no hydroxide ion has yet been produced in the solution. The solution would thus contain 0.2000 \times 0.425 - 0.307 \; x = 0.085 - 0.307 \; x moles of acetic acid and 0.307 \; x moles of acetate ions.

Let \text{HAc} denotes an acetic acid molecule and \text{Ac}^{-} denotes an acetate ion. The RICE table below resembles the hydrolysis equilibrium going on within the buffer solution.

\begin{array}{lccccc}\text{R} & \text{HAc} & \leftrightharpoons & \text{H}^{+} & + & \text{Ac}^{-}\\\text{I} & 0.085 - 0.307 \; x& & 0 & & 0.307 \; x\\\end{array}

The buffer shall have a pH of 4.250, meaning that it shall have an equilibrium proton concentration of 10^{4.250}\; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}. There were no proton in the buffer solution before the hydrolysis of acetic acid. Therefore the table shall have an increase of 10^{-4.250}\;\text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3} in proton concentration in the third row. Atoms conserve. Thus the concentration increase of protons by 10^{-4.250}\;\text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3} would correspond to a decrease in acetic acid concentration and an increase in acetate ion concentration by the same amount. That is:

\begin{array}{lcccccc}\text{R} & \text{HAc} & \leftrightharpoons & \text{H}^{+} & + & \text{Ac}^{-}\\\text{I} & 0.085 - 0.307 \; x& & 0 & & 0.307 \; x\\\text{C} & - 10^{-4.250} & & +10^{-4.250} & & +10^{-4.250} \\\text{E} & 0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x& & 10^{-4.250} & & 10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x\end{array}

By definition:

\text{K}_{a} = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot [\text{Ac}^{-}] / [\text{HAc}]\\\phantom{\text{K}_{a}} = 10^{-4.250} \times (10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x) / (0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x)

The question states that

\text{K}_{a} = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}

such that

10^{-4.250} \times (10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x) / (0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x) = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}\\6.16 \times 10^{-5} \; x = 1.48 \times 10^{-6}\\x = 0.0241

Thus it takes 0.0241 \; \text{L} of sodium hydroxide to produce this buffer solution.
