You want to make an acetate buffer. The Ka = 1.8e-5. The pH needed is 4.9. How many mols of NaOH do you need to add to 100.0 mL of a 0.50M acetic acid solution to create your buffer?
Added by Heather B.
Step 1
Given that the initial concentration of acetic acid is 0.50M and the volume is 100.0 mL (0.100 L), we can calculate the initial number of moles of acetic acid: moles of CH3COOH = concentration x volume moles of CH3COOH = 0.50 mol/L x 0.100 L moles of CH3COOH = Show more…

A buffer solution of pH = 5.30 can be prepared by dissolving acetic acid (CH3COOH) and sodium acetate (NaCH3COO) in water. How many moles of sodium acetate must be added to 1.00 L of 0.250 M acetic acid to prepare the buffer? Ka = 1.76 x 10-5
