A beaker with 200 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.00 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 6.20 mL of a 0.260 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.760.
please help??? I'm lost....Adding a strong acid to buffer?
5.00 = 4.760 + log [CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]
10^0.24 = 1.74 = [CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]
[CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-] = 0.100
[CH3COOH] = 0.100 - [CH3COO-]
1.74 = [CH3COO-] / 0.100 - [CH3COO-]
0.174 - 1.74 [CH3COO-] = [CH3COO-]
[CH3COO-] = 0.0635 M
[CH3COOH]= 0.100 - 0.0635 =0.0365 M
moles acetate = 0.200 L x 0.0635 =0.0127
moles acetic acid = 0.200 x 0.0365 =0.00730
moles HCl = 0.00620 L x 0.260 M=0.00161
CH3COO- + HCl %26gt;%26gt; CH3COOH
moles acetate = 0.0127 - 0.00161 =0.0111
moles acetic acid = 0.00730 + 0.00161 =0.00891
total volume =0.206 L
cocnentration acetate = 0.0111 / 0.206 =0.0538 M
concentration acetic acid = 0.00891 / 0.206 =0.0433 M
pH = 4.760 + log 0.0538 / 0.0433 =4.85
