(choose chapter or problem)

a. Calculate the pH of a buffered solution that is 0.100 M in C6H5CO2H (benzoic acid, Ka 5 6.4 3 1025 ) and 0.100 M in C6H5CO2Na. b. Calculate the pH after 20.0% (by moles) of the benzoic acid is converted to benzoate anion by addition of a strong base. Use the dissociation equilibrium C6H5CO2H1aq2mC6H5CO2 2 1aq2 1 H1 1aq2 to calculate the pH. c. Do the same as in part b, but use the following equilibrium to calculate the pH: C6H5CO2 2 1aq2 1 H2O1l2mC6H5CO2H1aq2 1 OH2 1aq2 d. Do your answers in parts b and c agree? Explain
