Calculating the composition of a buffer of a given pH
A chemistry graduate student is given 300. mL of a 0.80 M hydrocyanic acid (HCN) solution. Hydrocyanic acid is a weak acid with
K=4.9 × 10
What mass of NaCN should the student dissolve in the HCN solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 9.65?
- 10
9.31
You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the NaCN is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit
symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.
