A buffer is made using 100.0 mL of 0.100 M CH3 CH2 COOH (propanoic acid) and 100.0 mL of 0.100 M NACH3 CH2 COO (sodium
propanoate).
A) Explain in your own words what will occur (at the molecular level) when an nitric acid is added to the buffer? What would be the
effect on the pH?
B) Explain in your own words what will occur when LIOH is added tot he buffer? What would be the effect on the [H+]?
A student was required to prepare 250.0 mL of a cyanoacetic acid/sodium cyanoacetate
buffer in which the concentration of the weak acid component was 0.06 M and the
concentration of the conjugate base was 0.028 M. The student was supplied with 0.512 M
cyanoacetic acid and 1.0M NaOH to perform this task. What volume (in mL) of the acid would
the student need to prepare this buffer solution?
Hint: assume that all of the conjugate base comes directly from the reaction of NaOH with
the weak acid (in other words, there is negligible dissociation of the weak acid).
Please enter answers with 2 decimal places.
A chemistry graduate student is given 100. mL of a 1.70M hydrocyanic acid (HCN) solution. Hydrocyanic acid is a weak
acid with K = 4.9 × 10-10, what mass of NaCN should the student dissolve in the HCN solution to turn it into a buffer
with pH = 9.78?
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.

You incubate this sample with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase to convert all of the acetylcholine to choline and acetic acid. The acetic acid dissociates to yield acetate and hydrogen ions. At the end of the incubation period, you measure the pH again and find that it has decreased to 5.91. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture, determine the number of nanomoles of acetylcholine in the original 15 mL sample.
