D. If you are to prepare a buffer solution with a pH of 11.00, which weak acid-conjugate base pair from
carbonic acid should you use? Justify your answer.
E. How are you going to prepare 50.00 mL of the buffer solution in (D)? The reagents that are provided
to you are: 20.00 mL of 0.200 M sodium bicarbonate solution and a bottle of solid NaOH (MM =
39.997 g/mol).
F. What will be the pH of the buffer solution prepared in (E) if 1.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl is added to it?
