You need to prepare an acetate buffer of pH 6.33 from a 0.727 M acetic acid solution and a 2.16 M KOH solution. If you have 475 mL of the acetic acid solution, how many milliliters of the KOH solution do you need to add to make a buffer of pH 6.33? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76.
millimoles of acetic acid = 0.727 x 475 = 345. 325
millimoles of KOH = 2.16 V
CH3COOH + KOH --------------> CH3COO- + H2O
345. 325 2.16 V 0 0
345. 325 - 2.16 V 0 2.16 V
pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]
6.33 = 4.76 + log [2.16 V /345. 325 - 2.16 V ]
[2.16 V /345. 325 - 2.16 V ] = 37.154
2.16 V = 12830 - 80.253 V
V = 155.68 mL
volume of KOH = 156 mL
