Calculate the pH of the following two buffer
solutions:
(a) 2.4 M
CH3COONa/1.3
M
CH3COOH.
(b) 0.2 M CH3COONa/0.1 M CH3COOH.
(C) Which is the more effective buffer?
a. PH = PKa + log[CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]
= 4.75+ log2.4/1.3
= 4.75 + 0.2662
= 5.0162
b. PH = PKa + log[CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]
= 4.75+ log0.2/0.1
= 4.75 + 0.3010
= 5.051
c. 0.2 M CH3COONa/0.1 M CH3COOH more effect buffer
