Explanation Given The concentration of benzoic acid in the buffer solution is 0.12 M . The concentration of sodium benzoate in the buffer solution is 0.20 M . Refer Appendix D Acid dissociation constant for benzoic acid is 6.3 × 10 − 5 . Benzoic acid is a weak electrolyte. Thus, its dissociation is given as, C 6 H 5 COOH ( a q ) ⇌ H + ( a q ) + C 6 H 5 COO − ( a q ) Sodium benzoate is a strong electrolyte. Thus, its dissociation is given as, C 6 H 5 COONa ( a q ) → Na + ( a q ) + C 6 H 5 COO − ( a q ) As, Na + is neither acidic nor basic, its concentration does not change pH of the buffer solution. The pH depends only on the concentration of H + . Make an ICE table for the concentration of species in the buffer solution. C 6 H 5 COOH ( a q ) ⇌ H + ( a q ) + C 6 H 5 COO − ( a q ) Initial: ( M ) 0 .12 0.0 0.20 Change: ( M ) − x + x + x Equilibrium: ( M ) ( 0 .12 − x ) x 0.20 + x The initial concentration of C 6 H 5 COO − is due to dissociation of C 6 H 5 COONa and equilibrium concentration is due to dissociation of C 6 H 5 COOH . The equilibrium concentration of H + is calculated by the formula, K a = [ H + ] [ C 6 H 5 COO − ] [ C 6 H 5 COOH ] Where, K a is the equilibrium constant for the given reaction
