2. Making a buffer solution. Suppose you add 100 mL of a solution containing 5M of acetic acid to 400 mL of
0.5 M NaOH. Write the acid base reaction that is taking place and use an ICE table to show how the number of
moles of each species changes. What is the final pH of the buffer solution? (The pK of acetic acid is 4.7.)

Step 1: Number of moles of each species

Number of moles in 100mL of 5M acetic acid can be calculated by the formula

Volume in L × concentration (mol/L)/M

volume = 100mL = 0.1 L

0.1 × 5 = 0.5 mol

In case of NaOH ( 400mL of 0.5M )

400mL = 0.4 L

0.4 × 0.5 = 0.2 mol

The reaction equation is

>CH3COOH + NaOH  ---‐----> CH3COONa + H2O
