3. Vanadic acid is often used as a biological buffer when studying enzymes. You are asked to prepare 100.0 mL of a pH=9.17 buffer, but quickly realize you have only the following available to you: 3.0 M vanadic acid (H₂VOA), 1.0 g sodium dihydrogen vanadate (NaH₂VO4; MW=139.944 g/mol), 2.5 M disodium hydrogen vanadate (Na₂HVOA), and a full bottle of solid sodium vanadate (Na,VO; 183.9085 g/mol). Describe how you would prepare the buffer with the available chemicals. You also have all the water and plassware you want. Ko1 = 1.0 x 10, Ka2 = 2.8 x 10º and Kas = 5.0 x 10:¹5 for H₂VOA. Kw = 1.0 x 10¹4. H

3. Vanadic acid is often used as a biological buffer when studying enzymes. You are asked to prepare 100.0
mL of a pH=9.17 buffer, but quickly realize you have only the following available to you: 3.0 M vanadic
acid (H₂VO4), 1.0 g sodium dihydrogen vanadate (NaH₂VO4; MW=139.944 g/mol), 2.5 M disodium
hydrogen vanadate (Na₂HVOA), and a full bottle of solid sodium vanadate (NajVO;= 183.9085 g/mol).
Describe how you would prepare the buffer with the available chemicals. You also have all the water and
plassware you want. Ko1 = 1.0 x 104, Ko2 = 2.8 x 10° and Kos= 5.0 x 10-¹5 for H₂VO4. Kw=1.0 x 10-¹4,
