Answer:

Benzoic acid: 1.288g

Sodium benzoate: 124.48g

Explanation:

Benzoic acid, HC7H5O2 is in equilibrium with its conjugate base, C7H5O2⁻ producing a buffer. The pH of the buffer can be determined following H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2] (1)

<em>Where pH is desire pH = 6.10 pKa is -log Ka = 4.187 and [] are molar concentrations of the buffer.</em>

As you want to prepare 2.5L of a 0.35M of buffer, moles of buffer are:

2.5L ₓ (0.35mol / L) = 0.875moles of buffer.

And you can write:

0.875 moles = [C7H5O2⁻] + [HC7H5O2] (2)

Replacing (2) in (1)

pH = pKa + log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2]

6.10 = 4.187 + log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2]

1.913 =  log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2]

81.846 = 0.875mol - [HC7H5O2] / [HC7H5O2]

81.846 [HC7H5O2] = 0.875mol - [HC7H5O2]

82.846 [HC7H5O2] = 0.875mol

<h3>[HC7H5O2] = 0.01056 moles</h3>

And moles of the benzoate, [C7H5O2⁻]:

[C7H5O2⁻] = 0.875mol - 0.01056mol =

<h3>[C7H5O2⁻] = 0.8644mol</h3><h3 />

Using molar mass of benzoic acid and sodium benzoate, amount of each compound you must add to prepare 2.5L of the buffer are:

Benzoic acid: 0.01056mol ₓ (122.01g/mol) = 1.288g

Sodium benzoate: 0.8644mol ₓ (144.01g/mol) = 124.482g

omeli [17]

Answer: V = 5.1 L

Explanation: To find the new volume, we will use the formula of Combined Gas Law and derive V2. We also need to convert first the temperature in Kelvin and convert torr to atm ( 1 atm = 760 torrs ).
