You need to prepare 100.0 mL of a pH 4.00 buffer solution using 0.100 M benzoic acid (p K a = 4.20 ) and 0.200 M sodium benzoate

. How many milliliters of each solution should be mixed to prepare this buffer?

Answer : The volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid  solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.

Explanation :

Let the volume of sodium benzoate (salt) be, x

So, the volume of benzoic acid  (acid) will be, (100 - x)

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

4.00=4.20+\log \left(\frac{(\frac{0.200x}{100})}{(\frac{0.100(100-x)}{100})}\right)

x = 29.0

The volume of sodium benzoate = x = 29.0 mL

The volume of benzoic acid  (acid) = (100 - x) = (100 - 29.0) = 71 mL

Thus, the volume of sodium benzoate and benzoic acid  solution mixed to prepare this buffer should be, 29.0 mL and 71 mL respectively.

Melting is a process where a solid such as ice turns into liquid or water. The molecules of ice slowly moves and becomes unstable as they gain energy. As this energy builds up, kinetic energy increases and the intermolecular forces react because of this energy.Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.

. What happens the pH of an acid solution as a base is added?​
Dmitrij [34]

As a base is added to an acidic solution, the H+ ions in solution that make it acidic are slowly neutralized into water (via OH-, the base). As these ions are converted into water the concentration of them decreases, so the pH decreases, as they are directly related.

Hope this helps!
