<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>

Given:

Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0

Let HA = acetic acid

A- = sodium acetate

Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)

pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77

[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)

From (1) and (2)

[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM

[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM

[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM

When using ion-selective electrodes, to compensate for a complex or unknown matrix, the  standard addition method can be used to determine the analyte concentration. Option D

<h3>What are  ion-selective electrodes?</h3>

Analytical chemistry is a science that deal with the measurement and detection of the accurate amount of a substance. Analytical chemistry plays a large role in environmental management as it helps in the determination of the levels of contaminants in a sample.

An ion selective electrode is used in analytical chemistry to measure the amount of a target ion by converting its activity into a measurable electrical signal.

Hence, when using ion-selective electrodes, to compensate for a complex or unknown matrix, the  standard addition method can be used to determine the analyte concentration.
