Chemistry

Calculate the expected buffer capacity of the acetate bufferbased on the number of moles of CH3CO2H in the buffer. (hint, youknow the concentration and volume) In other words, how many molesof NaOH are needed to break the buffer? Does the measured buffercapacity of acetate buffer (20mL) meet your expectations?

pKa = 4.74

target pH= 4.9

[HA]= 2.04x10-2 M [A] = 2.96x10^-2 M
