Acetic acid (50.0 mL, 0.100M) and sodium acetate
(20.0mL, 0.200 M) were mixed to form a buffer. Calculate
the pH of the solution given that the Ka of acetic acid is
1.75 x10-5
pH= 4.66
What will be the pH of the buffer system, which consists of acetic
acid (50.0 mL, 0.100M) and sodium acetate (20.0mL, 0.200 M),
after the addition of 30.0 mL 0f 0.010 M HCl? pKa = 4.757
CH3COOH (aq) H+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq)
pH= 4.60
What will be the pH of the buffer system, which
consists of acetic acid (50.0 mL, 0.100M) and sodium
acetate (20.0mL, 0.200 M), after the addition of 15.0
mL 0f 0.025 M NaOH?
CH3COOH (aq) H+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq)
NaOH will react with H+ and shifts the equilibrium to the right!
pH= 4.73
An important buffer stabilizing the blood plasma is the
bicarbonate-carbonic acid system. The conc. of the
H2CO3 in blood is 0.00125M. Calculate the [NaHCO3]
in the plasma if the pH = 7.4.
H2CO3 + H2O = H3O+ +HCO3- ;Ka = 4.46 x10 -6; pKa =6.35
HCO3- + H2O = H3O+ + CO32-;Ka= 4.67X10-11; pKa =10.33

(h) Determine the volume of 0.1M lactate and 0.1 M lactic acid
that must be mixed to prepare 500.0 mL of 0.1M buffer with a
pH of 4.0.
Lactate: 1.38/2.38 x 500 = 289.9 mL
Lactic acid: 500 mL – 289.9 mL = 210.10 mL

Decide on the Buffer Properties
Before making a buffer you must know the
following;
1. concentration
2. volume
3. desired pH

Describe how you would prepare a 1.0L of a 1.0M “phosphate
buffer” with a pH of about 7.40.

The most suitable of the three buffer systems is HPO 4 /H 2 PO 4,
-
because the pKa of the acid H 2 PO 4 is closest to the desired pH.
From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation we write
