In order to prepare a buffer solution of pH 5 . 74 , sodium acetate is added to acetic acid. If the concentration of acetic acid in the buffer is 1 . 0 M , the concentration of sodium acetate in the buffer is ______ M . (Round off to the Nearest Integer). Given : pKa acetic acid = 4 . 74
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
pH = pKa + log [ CB ] [ WA ] 5 . 74 = 4 . 74 + log [ CB ] 1 ⇒ [ CB ] = 10 M CB   = Conjugate base. WA   = Weak acid
