Abuffer is prepared by mixing 204.0 ml of 0.452 mol/l hydrochloric acid (hci) and 500.0 ml of 0.400 mol/l sodium acetate (nachco2, naac). what is the ph of the above buffer solution?

pH of buffer is 4.81

Explanation:

The reaction between HCl and sodium acetate will product acetic acid. The presence of weak acid (acetic acid) and its salt will make a buffer.

The reaction will be:

Thus one mole each of HCl and acetate will give one mole of acetic acid.

The moles of HCl present = molarity X volume = 0.452 X 0.204 =0.092

moles of acetic acid formed on reaction of HCl with acetate = 0.092

Initial moles of sodium acetate present = molarity X volume = 0.4X0.5 =0.2

moles of sodium acetate left =0.108 mol

the pKa of acetic acid =4.74

The pH of buffer is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation :

pH = pKa + log

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
