Question

Acetic acid has a Ka of 1.8×10−5. Three acetic acid/acetate buffer solutions, A, B, and C, were made using varying concentrations:

[acetic acid] ten times greater than [acetate],

[acetate] ten times greater than [acetic acid], and

[acetate]=[acetic acid].

Match each buffer to the expected pH.

pH = 3.74 ; pH = 4.74 ; pH = 5.74

Part B: How many grams of dry NH4Cl need to be added to 2.30 L of a 0.600 M solution of ammonia, NH3, to prepare a buffer solution that has a pH of 8.71? Kb for ammonia is 1.8×10−5.

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
