The volume is the product of the molar concentration and the moles of the substance. The volume of hydrochloric acid that can be added to the buffer is 0.066 L.
<h3>What is a buffer?</h3>
A buffer is a constant solution with a proton or hydrogen ion concentration with an acid, base, or salt dissolved in them.
The chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium acetate is given as,
HCl + CH₃Coo-Na → CH₃CooH + NaCl
From above the initials moles of acetic acid are given as,
Moles = molarity × volume
= 0.139 M × 0.0346 L
= 0.0048 moles
The initials moles of sodium acetate are given as,
M = 0.182 M × 0.0365 L
= 0.0066 moles
As it is known that the ratio of the buffer capacity is 10 for sodium acetate and acetic acid so,
Moles sodium acetate ÷ Moles Acetic acid = 10
(0.0066 moles + X) ÷ (0.0048 moles - X) = 10
Here, X is the moles of HCl and is calculated as,
0.0066 moles + X = 0.048 moles - 10X
11 X = 0.048 ÷ 0.0066
11 X = 7.27
X = 0.66 moles
The volume of 0.100 HCl with 0.66 moles is:
Volume = moles × molarity
= 0.100 × 0.66
= 0.066 L
Therefore, 0.066 L of 0.100 M HCl is required to reach the buffer capacity.
