A student needs to prepare a buffer solution with a pH of 4.18. Assuming a pKa of 4.69, how many mL of 0.1 M NaOH would need to be added to 15.0 mL of 0.1 M HB to prepare this buffer? Please include a proper (abbreviated) unit. HINT : Use pH = pKa + log ([B minus]/[HB]) or, if concentrations are the same, pH = pKa + log (Volume of OH minus/ (Volume of HB minus Volume of OH minus)

Question

A student needs to prepare a buffer solution with a pH of 4.18. Assuming a pKa of 4.69, how many mL of 0.1 M NaOH would need to be added to 15.0 mL of 0.1 M HB to prepare this buffer?

Please include a proper (abbreviated) unit.

HINT : Use pH = pKa + log ([B minus]/[HB]) or, if concentrations are the same,

pH = pKa + log (Volume of OH minus/ (Volume of HB minus Volume of OH minus)
