A chemistry graduate student is given 250.mL of a 0.30M propanoic acid HC2H5CO2 solution. Propanoic acid is a weak acid with Ka=1.3x10^−5. What mass of KC2H5CO2 should the student dissolve in the HC2H5CO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH=4.30? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the KC2H5CO2 is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits
