Question

What is the mass of NaOH that would have to be added to 500 mL of a solution of 0.20 M acetic acid in order to achieve a pH of 5.0?

Expert Solution
Step 1

We have :

Volume of solution= 500 ml

Molarity of acetic acid= 0.200 M

ph of the solution = 5.0

 

Let 'a' be the mass of NaOH. 

Molar mass of NaOH= 40 g/mol.

Therefore, moles of NaOH= (a g/(40 g/mol)) 

= 0.0250*a mol
