Question
How can we solve questions 3 and 4? Calculate the pH of a 0.350 M solution of potassium phenolate, KC6H5O. Ka for phenol (CH5OH) is 1.0 x 10-10. How do the concentration/volumes of the buffer affect the buffer capacity? E.g., 50.0 mL of 0.10 M acetic acid solution with 50.0 mL of 0.10 M sodium acetate solution vs. the buffer you made in the lab (25.0 mL of 0.10 M acetic acid solution with 25.0 mL of 0.10 M sodium acetate solution).
