Students have asked these similar questions
The pH of a bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer is 6.18. Calculate the ratio of the concentration of carbonic acid (H2CO3) to that of the bicarbonate ion (HCO3−). (Ka1 of carbonic acid is 4.2 × 10−7.)
A chemistry graduate student is given 100. mL of a 1.40M methylamine (CH3NH2) solution. Methylamine is a weak base with K = 4.4 × 104. What mass of
CH3NH3CI should the student dissolve in the CH3NH2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 10.88?
You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the CH3NH3Cl is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to
2 significant digits.
