Answer:
The pH of the solution is 8, 40-
Explanation:
The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as
pH = -log (H30+)
pH= -log (4x10-9M)
<em>pH=8,40</em>
Answer:
56.9 mmoles of acetate are required in this buffer
Explanation:
To solve this, we can think in the Henderson Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log ([CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH])
To make the buffer we know:
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ Ka
We know that Ka from acetic acid is: 1.8×10⁻⁵
pKa = - log Ka
pKa = 4.74
We replace data:
5.5 = 4.74 + log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)
5.5 - 4.74 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)
0.755 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)
10⁰'⁷⁵⁵ = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)
5.69 = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)
5.69 . 10 = [acetate] → 56.9 mmoles
