A chemistry graduate student is given 250. mL of a 0.40M pyridine (C₂H₂N) solution. Pyridine is a weak base with K₁=1.7 × 10⁹. What mass of C₂H₂NHBr should the student dissolve in the C₂H₂N solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 4.75? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the CH NHBr is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.
