A beaker with 175 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 6.90 mL of a 0.340 M HCL solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.760Chemistry help please?
let x = [acetic acid]
let y = [acetate]
5.00 = 4.760 + log y/x
10^0.24 = y/x
1.74 = y/x
1.74 x = y
but we know that x + y = 0.100
y = 0.100-x
1.74 x = 0.100-x
2.74 x = 0.100
x = 0.0365 and y = 0.0635 M
moles acetic acid = 0.0365 x 0.175 L=0.00639
moles acetate = 0.0635 x 0.175 L=0.0111
moles H+ added = 6.90 x 10^-3 L x 0.340 M=0.00235
the reaction that occur is
CH3COO- + H+ = CH3COOH
moles acetate = 0.0111 - 0.00235 =0.00875
moles acetic acid = 0.00639 + 0.00235 =0.00874
total volume = 6.90 + 175 = 181.9 mL =%26gt; 0.1819 L
[acetic acid ] = 0.00874 / 0.1819 =0.0480 M
[acetate] = 0.00875/0.1819 =0.0481 M
pH = 4.760 + log 0.0481 / 0.0480=4.76
