Question

What mass of NaOH would be added to a one liter 0.200 M solution of acetic acid (pKa = 4.76) to adjust the final pH to 4.76?  Assume the NaOH won't significantly change the volume.  NaOH has a molar mass of 40.0 g.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : Volume of solution = 1 L 

Concentration of acetic acid = 0.200 M

And pH of solution = 4.76 

Assuming the moles of NaOH added is y and it is less than the moles of  acetic acid.

Moles of acetic acid = concentration of acetic acid X volume of solution = 0.200 X 1 = 0.200 mol.
