Prepare a 250-mL buffer with pH = 4.40 from solid reagents benzoic acid (C6H5COOH; M = 122.123 g mol) and sodium benzoate (C,H5COONA; M = 144.105 g mol). The pKa for potassium dihydro- gen phosphate is 4.202. а. Write the balanced equation showing the equilibrium of the buffer solution. Calculate the concentration ratio of benzoate to benzoic acid using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation. b. С. Determine the amounts (in mol) of C6H5COOH and C,H5COONA required to prepare the buffer.
