You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.31. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of

acetic acid. How many millimoles of acetate (the conjugate base of acetic acid) will you need to add to this solution? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.74.

Answer:

37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is an weak acid. According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer consist of weak acid (acetic acid) and its conjugate base (acetate)-

pH=pK_{a}(acetic acid)+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{mmol of CH_{3}COOH }]

Here pH is 5.31, pK_{a} (acetic acid) is 4.74 and number of mmol of acetic acid is 10 mmol.

Plug in all the values in the above equation:

5.31=4.74+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{10}]

or, mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-} = 37

So 37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

<span>As we know that
1 cu cm H2O = 1 mL H2O = 1g H2O 
now

Heat of fusion of water = 79.8 cal/g 
and

Heat of vaporization of water = 540 cal/g 

Atomic weight of water : H=1 O=16 H2O=18 
now by calculating and putting values

65.5gH2O x 79.8cal/gH2O x 1gH2O/540cal = 9.68g H2O (steam) 

9.68gH2O x 1molH2O/18gH2O x 22.4LH2O/1molH2O = 12.0 L H2O
hope it helps</span>
