v Correct
The effective range for a buffering system is one pH unit on either side of pKa . Therefore, calculate the pKa for each buffer system. For HC2H3O2/KC2H3O2
- log Ka
- log(1.8 x 10-9
pKa
4.74
For HC102/KC1O2
, pKa = 1.96 ; for HC10/KCIO
, pKa= 7.54
; and, for NH3/NH4C1
pKa =
14.00 — рКъ
14.00 – 4.754
9.25
So, HC10/KC1O
is the best choice to create a buffer with pH = 7.30
because HC10 has the pKa value that is closest to 7.30.
Part B
For the best system, calculate the ratio of the masses of the buffer components required to make the buffer.
Express your answer to two significant figures.
