A buffer is prepared by adding 0.30 mol CH₃COONa to 2.0  L  of  a  0.10  M  CH₃COOH  solution.  Calculate the eq K /c (x y) eq K c/(xy) 1/(x y) x y 1 x y eq K /c x y eq K /xyc pH  after  0.030  mol  HCl  are  added  to  the  buffer.  Ka (CH₃COOH) = 1.8 × 10–5.

Explanation

Let us consider the given buffer reaction as follows: - 3 2 3 3 - 5 a 3 3 3 CH COOH + H O CH COO H O initial            0.30                           0.20         0 at eqm.       0.30 x                       0.20+x      x K [CH COO ][H O ]/  [CH COOH] 1.8 10 Now x 5 a a 5 a 5 5 ,K (0.20+x)(x) / 0.30 x 1.8 10 x is very small as compared to K . Therefore, it is neglected in higher terms. K (0.20)(x) / 0.30 1.8 10 x 2.7 10 pH log[x] log[2.7 10 ]= 4.8 x x x x
