A buffer consists of 0.45 M CH3COOH (acetic acid) and 0.35 M CH3COONa. The Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5 . a) Calculate the pH of the buffer solution. b) Calculate the pH after 5.0 mL of 2.0 M NaOH have been added to 400 mL of the original buffer solution.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) pH of Buffer solution = 4.59

B) pH after 5.0 ml of 2.0 M NaOH have been added to 400 ml of the original    buffer solution = 4.65

Explanation:

This  is the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

 [tex]pH = pKa + log\frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}[/tex]

to calculate the pH of the following Buffer solutions.
