Question

A buffer made up of equal volumes (231.3 mL) of each of 0.656 M A H and 0.624 M A minus. What is p H of the buffer after addition of 5.61 mL of 0.266 M HCl? K a of H A is 2.190E-5.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Total volume of the buffer solution = 231.3 + 231.3 = 462.6 ml or 0.4626 L

The pKa value of HA = 5 – log(2.19) = 4.66

Number of moles of HA = Concentration of HA (M) × Volume of HA (L)

Number of moles of HA = 0.656 M × 0.2313 L = 0.1517 mol

Number of moles of conjugate base (A-) = Concentration of A- (M) × Volume of A- (L)

Number of moles of conjugate base (A-) = 0.2313 L × 0.624 M = 0.1443 mol
