You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 4.97. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of acetic acid. How many millimoles of acetate (the conjugate base of acetic acid) will you need to add to this solution?

Answer:

16.9 mmoles are needed to add to the solution

Explanation:

To solve this, we can apply the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

Acetic acid → CH₃COOH

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄  CH₃COO⁻   +  H₃O⁺             Ka

That is the acid base equilibrium, to determine the amount:

pKa of acetic acid is 4.74

Henderson Hasselbach formula is:

pH = pKa + log (base/acid)

We replace  →  4.97 = 4.74 + log (B / 10mmoles)

Let's verify mmoles of B

4.97 - 4.74 = log (B/10)

0.23 =  log (B/10)

10^(0.23) = 10^(log (B/10)

1.698 = B/10

B = 1.698 . 10 → 16.9 mmoles
