Chapter 2, Problem 29P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The pH of the buffer when a solution contains pKa=3.86 and 0.050 mol of sodium lactate per liter.

Introduction:

The solution that is capable of resisting the drastic change in the levels of pH of the solution is a buffer solution. The buffer varies in their chemical composition and thus they have the different buffering capacity and have a range of adjusting the pH of the solutions.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The change in pH is to be determined when 5mL of 5.0MHCl is added to 1L of the buffer.

Introduction:

The solution that is capable of resisting the drastic change in the levels of pH of the solution is a buffer solution. The buffer varies in their chemical composition and thus they have the different buffering capacity and have a range of adjusting the pH of the solutions.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The change in pH is to be determined when 5mL of 5.0MHCl is added to 1L of the pure water.

Introduction:

The solution that is capable of resisting the drastic change in the levels of pH of the solution is a buffer solution. The buffer varies in their chemical composition and thus they have the different buffering capacity and have a range of adjusting the pH of the solutions.
