You select a 150.0 ml volumetric flask to which you add 80.00 mL of a 2.30 M solution of the weak acid you just selected. To finish preparing your buffer you must now add the sodium salt of the conjugate base. How many grams of the sodium salt of your conjugate base must you add so that when you finally fill the flask to the mark with deionized water the buffer will have a pH of 8.50.

7.33 grams of NaOH is the amount of conjugate base added.

Explanation:

given that:

total volume = 150 ml

Vacid = 80 ml

Macid = 2.30 M

Vbase= 150-80= 70ml

Mbase=?

atomic mass of NaOH = 39.99 grams/mole

formula for titration

Macid X Vacid = Mbase X Vbase

putting the values in the equation:

Mbase =

           = 2.62M is the molarity of NaOH

Number of moles of

M =

   2.62 x 0.07 = number of moles

0.1834 moles of NaOH  is there, to know the mass formula used is

mass = number of moles x atomic mass

          =  x 0.1834

           = 7.33 grams of NaOH is the amount of conjugate base added.

Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.
