A chemistry graduate student is given 125. mL of a 0.80 M acetic acid (HCH₂CO₂) solution. Acetic acid is a weak acid with K=1.8 × 10. What mass of KCH3CO₂ should the student dissolve in the HCH₂CO₂ solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 5.04? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the KCH,CO, is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.
