- Cacodylic acid, (CH3)2AsO2H, is a toxic compound that is a weak acid with pKa = 6.19. It is used to prepare buffered solutions. Calculate the masses of cacodylic acid and sodium cacodylate that should be used to prepare 500.0 mL of a pH = 6.60 buffer so that the buffer has a total of arsenic-containing species equal to 0.25 M, that is, so that: [(CH3)2AsO2H] + [(CH3)2AsO2] = 0.25 Marrow_forwardYou are asked to prepare a pH = 3.00 buffer starting from 2.00 L of 0.025 M solution of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH).
