Question
Chapter 2.9, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the reaction, CH3COCH3+Na+NH2-------->CH3 COCH2-Na++NH3 will take place to a significant extent as written is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A strong acid will always donate a proton to a strong base. That is, an acid will donate a proton to the conjucate base of a weaker acid. In other words the conjucate base of a weaker acid will remove a proton from stronger acid.
To determine:
Whether the reaction, CH3COCH3+Na+NH2-------->CH3COCH2-Na++NH3 will take place to a significant extent as written.

D] How can you prepare exactly 1 dm3 of acetate buffer solution with required pH 5.0 and the total concentration [HA + NaA], c = 0.01 mol/dm3 if the stock solution of acetic acid (HA) with concentration,
cHA = 0.1 mol/dm3, anhydrous sodium acetate (NaA, MT = 82.03 g/mol) and purified water are available?
