You are running an experiment and need to keep your solution within a certain pH range:  3.5 +/- 1pH unit.  Choose a buffer system (e.g. a conjugate acid/base) with a pKa in the appropriate range.. Assuming you have 0.2M stock solutions of the acid and conjugate base, calculate the L of each need to make 400 mL of buffer. Describe clearly your protocol for making the buffer solution to the desired pH.

). You are running an experiment and need to keep your solution within a certain pH range:  3.5 +/- 1pH unit. 

  • Choose a buffer system (e.g. a conjugate acid/base) with a pKa in the appropriate range..
  • Assuming you have 0.2M stock solutions of the acid and conjugate base, calculate the L of each need to make 400 mL of buffer.
  • Describe clearly your protocol for making the buffer solution to the desired pH.

 

Calculate pH for the following. 

  • Add 100 mL of 0.100 M HCl to pure water
  • Add 100 mL of 0.100 M HCl to the 400 mL of buffer you made
  • Add 100 mL of 0.100 M NaOH to pure water
  • Add 100 mL of 0.100 M NaOH to the 400 mL of buffer you made
