1.Determine the pH change when 0.126 mol KOH is added to 1.00 L of a buffer solution that is 0.445 M in HCN and 0.213 M in CN-.
pH after addition pH before addition = pH change =
2. Consider how best to prepare one liter of a buffer solution with pH = 9.58 using one of the weak acid/conjugate base systems shown here. Weak Acid Conjugate Base Ka pKa
HC2O4- C2O42- 6.4 x 10-5 4.19
H2PO4- HPO42- 6.2 x 10-8 7.21
HCO3- CO32- 4.8 x 10-11 10.32
How many grams of the potassium salt of the weak acid must be combined with how many grams of the potassium salt of its conjugate base, to produce 1.00 L of a buffer that is 1.00 M in the weak base?
grams potassium salt of weak acid =
grams potassium salt of conjugate base =
