Weak acids: O formic acid, Ka 1.77x10 4,200 M O acetic acid, Ka 1.75x10 5, 5.00 M sodium bisultate monohydrate, Km 1.20x10 2,300 M O propionic acid, Ka 1.34x10 53.00 M Conjugate bases: O sodium sulfate decahydrate, Na2SO4. 10H2O O sodium propionate, CH3CHzCOONa sodium acetate trihydrate, CH O sodium formate, HCOONa down lo view more. The final volume of buffer solution must be 100,00 mL and the final concentration of the wenk acid must be 0.100 M Based on this information, what mass of solid on this information, what volume of conjugate base should the student weigh out to acid should the student measure O Previous check Answer ONext SExt

Explanation / Answer

Ka of weak acid = 1.20 x 10^-2

pKa of weak acid = 1.92

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

1.0 = 1.92 + log [salt / acid]

[salt / acid] = 0.1202

acid moles = 100 x 0.1 / 1000

                  = 0.01

salt / acid = 0.1202

salt / 0.01 = 0.1202

salt (conjugate base) moles = 0.1202 x 0.01

                  = 1.202 x 10^-3

conjugate base molar mass =322.195 g/mol

mass = moles x molar mass

          = 1.202 x 10^-3 x 322.195

          = 0.387 g

mass of conjugate base = 0.387 g

total volume of buffer = 100 mL

volume of acid = x

volume of base = (100 - x )

millimoles of acid = 0.1 x

millimoles of base = (100 - x) 0.012

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

1.0 = 1.92 + log [(100 - x) 0.012 /0.1 x]

[(100 - x) 0.012 /0.1 x] = 0.1202

x = 50.0 mL

volume of acid = 50 mL
