a.Calculate the pH of a buffer that is 0.1M in lactic acid, C2H4(OH)COOH, and 0.1M in sodium lactate, C2H4(OH)COONa. b.What is the pH of a buffer that is 1M in lactic acid and 1M in sodium lactate? c.What is the difference between the buffers described in parts a and b?
A buffer is prepared using the butyric acid/butyrate (HC4H7O2/C4H7O2)acid-base pair. The ratio of acid to base is 2.2 and Ka for butyric acid is1.54105. (a) What is the pH of this buffer? (b) Enough strong base is added to convert 15% of butyric acid to the butyrate ion. What is the pH of the resulting solution? (c) Strong acid is added to the buffer to increase its pH. What must the acid/base ratio be so that the pH increases by exactly one unit (e.g., from 2 to 3) from the answer in (a)?
Explain why even though an aqueous acetic acid solution contains acetic acid and acetate ions, it cannot be a buffer.
A buffer is prepared by dissolving 0.062 mol of sodium fluoride in 127 mL of 0.0399 M hydrofluoric acid. Assume no volume change after NaF is added. Calculate the pH of this buffer.
