A solution is prepared by adding 41 mg of sodium acetate (CH3COONA) to 1 L of distilled water. The acetate ion (CH3COO-) is the conjugate base of the weak acid acetic acid (CH3COOH). If the pH of the solution is measured to be 4.4, what is the molar concentration of the acetate ion (CH3CO0") in the solution? Locate the pKa of acetic acid in your textbook for the calculations.

Acetic acid and its conjugate base acetate can form an acid-base buffer. The pKa of acetic acid is 4.75. How much 10.0 M HNO3 must be added to 1.00 L of a buffer that is 0.0100 M acetic acid and 0.100 M sodium acetate to reduce the pH to 5.40 ?
Human blood has a pH of approximately 7.4 due to the carbonic acid/bicarbonate ion (H2CO3/HCO3−) buffer system. Any pH changes below 6.8 or above 7.8 can lead to death! Carbonic acid dissociates to form water and carbon dioxide in the equilibrium shown below. This process is crucial in respiration. H2CO3 (aq) ⇋ CO2 (g) + H2O pKa1 = 2.77 Carbonic acid dissociates in water to form the bicarbonate ion and the hydroxonium ion by the following equilibrium reaction:H2CO3 (aq) + H2O ⇋ H3O(aq)+ + HCO3− pKa2 = 3.70 (i) If there is a 25% increase in carbonic acid levels as per pKa1, explain how the body would deal with this change.

When the reversible reaction HC2H;O2 (aq) E> H(aq) + C2H3O2 (aq) is at equilibrium at room temperature, pH of the reaction mixture is 5. What will be the change in pH when you add a large amount of NaOH (aq) to the reaction mixture? a) pH will not change because NaOH is not a part of the reaction equation. b) pH will not change because acetic acid and NaOH form a buffer. c) pH will increase because NaOH will completely neutralize acetic acid. d) pH will decrease because NaOH will completely neutralize acetic acid.
