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 woul 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.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
