Sodium acetate buffer concentration.
« on: November 15, 2016, 07:52:23 PM »
The equilibrium of sodium acetate is as follows:
CH3COOH + NaOH  ::equil:: CH3COONa + H2O
20.00 mL of 0.126 M CH3COOH is added to 10.0 mL of 0.152 M NaOH
The limiting reagent in this case is NaOH because it gets all used up.
I need to calculate the M of CH3COO- and CH3COOH.
The Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5
How would I begin setting up this problem by using an ice chart?

Treat this as a non-equilibrium reaction.
