I need 100 mL of a buffer with a pH of 5.20 and it's acetic acid or HC2H3O2. So I need to find out how many grams of acetic acid are needed to make this buffer. (Ka = 1.8 x 10-5)
What I have so far...
pH = pKa + log(base/acid)
5.20 = 4.74 + logx
x = 2.884 M
2.884 M * .1 L = .2884 mol
.2884 mol * 60.052 g = 17.32 g
i know this is wrong because the answer is 11.54 g.
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
