What molar ratio of sodium acetate to acetic acid should be used to prepare a buffer with pH = 4.5? Ka acetic acid = 1.8 x 10-5.
A)1.6 parts sodium acetate to 1.0 part acetic acid.
B)0.20 parts sodium acetate to 1.0 part acetic acid.
C)0.57 parts sodium acetate to 1.0 part acetic acid.
D)-0.20 parts sodium acetate to 1.0 part acetic acid.
E)We cannot determine the pH of the buffer solution unless we know the actual concentrations of the buffer components.

Which of the chemical equations below represents the chemical reaction responsible for determining the solution pH at the equivalence point of the titration of 25 mL of 0.12 M acetic acid (HC2H3O2) with 0.10 M NaOH?
A)H2(l) ----> H+(aq) + OH-(aq)
B)C2H3O2-(aq) + H2O(l) ----> HC2H3O2(aq) + OH-(aq)
C)Na+(aq) + H2O(l) ----> NaOH(aq) + H+(aq)
D)C2H3O2-(aq) + Na+ ----> NaOH(aq) + C2H2O-(aq)
E)Because the neutralization is complete at the equivalence point of a titration, no further reaction occurs in the solution.
