Calculation of Molar Ratios of Conjugate Base to Weak Acid from pH For a weak acid with a pKa of 6.0, calculate the ratio of con

jugate base to acid at a pH of 5.0.
Choice of Weak Acid for a Buffer Which of these com-pounds would be the best buffer at pH 5.0: formic acid (pKa 5 3.8), acetic acid (pKa 5 4.76), or ethylamine (pKa 5 9.0)? Briefly justify your answer.

Explanation:

According to the Handerson equation,  

          pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{salt}}{\text{acid}}

or,      pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}

Putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

     pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}

       5.0 = 6.0 + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}[/tex]

      log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}} = -1.0

or,      \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}} = 10^{-1.0}

                            = 0.1

Therefore, we can conclude that molar ratios of conjugate base to weak acid for given solution is 0.1.

Calculate the percent of composition of oxygen in Mercury (ll) oxide HgO
bekas [8.4K]
Add up the molar mass of Mercury Oxide, and then divide the molar mass of Oxygen by the molar mass of the compound.

So...

mm of Hg + mm of O= 200.59g + 16g= 217g

16g/217g = .0737... x 100 = 7.37%
