A beaker with 175mL 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 0.100M . A student adds 6.80mL of a 0.430M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.760.Chemistry question involving buffers?
[CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-]= 0.100 M
pH = pKa + log [CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]
5.00 = 4.760 + log [CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]
10^0.24 =1.74 = [CH3COO-]/ [CH3COOH]
solving this system
[CH3COO-] = 0.0635 M
[CH3COOH]= 0.0365 M
Moles acetate = 0.0635 M x 0.175 L=0.0111
moles acetic acid = 0.0365 M x 0.175 L= 0.00639
moles HCl = 0.00680 L x 0.430 M=0.00292
CH3COO- + H+ %26gt;%26gt; CH3COOH
moles acetate = 0.0111 - 0.00292 =0.00818
moles acetic acid = 0.00639 + 0.00292 =0.00931
total volume = 175 + 6.80=181.8 mL = 0.1818 L
[acetate]= 0.00818 / 0.1818 = 0.0500 M
[acetic acid ]= 0.00931 / 0.1818 = 0.0512 M
pH = 4.760 + log 0.0500/ 0.0512 = 4.750
