A buffer solution is prepared by adding 50.0 ml of 0.220 M NaOH to 100.0 ml of 0.15 M acetic acid, HAc. What is the pH of the resulting buffer solution? pKa acetic acid = 4.75
Added by Julia W.
Step 1
Given that acetic acid (HAc) is a weak acid, it will partially dissociate in solution. The initial concentration of acetic acid is 0.15 M, and since it is a weak acid, we can assume that it will dissociate to a similar extent as the NaOH added. Therefore, the Show more…

A buffer is prepared by mixing 48.2 mL of 0.209 M NaOH with 141.2 mL of 0.231 M acetic acid. What is the pH of this buffer? (The pKa for acetic acid is 4.75.) Calculate the pH of this buffer after the addition of 0.219 g of solid NaOH.

You have prepared a buffer solution by adding 0.50 mole of acetic acid (pKa = 4.75) and 2.5 moles of sodium acetate to enough pure water to make 1.0 liter of solution. What is the pH of the buffer?
