Calculate the concentration of acetic acid in a buffer solution made from 3.00 mL of 0.50 M acetic acid and 7.00 mL of 0.50 sodium acetate.

Answer:

0.15 M

Explanation:

Number of mili moles of acetic acid = molarity×volume in mL = 3.0×0.50 =

1.5 milimoles = 1.5×10^{-3} moles

Concentration of the acetic acid = number of moles×1000/volume in mL

= 1.5×10^{-3}×1000/10 = 0.15 M

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     [tex]M_{initial}[/tex] = 0.50 M,   [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 3.00 ml

     [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 7.00 ml,      

Therefore, calculate the total volume as follows.

             Total volume = [tex]V_{1} + V_{2}[/tex]

                                    = 3.00 ml + 7.00 ml

                                    = 10.0 ml

Now, calculate the no. of moles of acetic acid as follows.

No. of moles of acetic acid = molarity × volume in mL

                                              = 3.0 × 0.50

                                              = 1.5 mmoles

                                              = [tex]1.5 \times 10^{-3}[/tex] moles

(As 1 mole = 0.001 mmol)

Therefore, calculate the concentration of acetic acid as follows.

Concentration of the acetic acid = [tex]\text{number of moles} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume in mL}}[/tex]

                                       = [tex]1.5 \times 10^{-3} \times \frac{1000}{10}[/tex]

                                      = 0.15 M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of acetic acid in buffer solution is 0.15 M.
