To work out the actual pH of the created buffer, you need to measure the pKa of carbonateâs conjugate acid. Describe the experimental set-up required to measure this pKa value, including the piece of glassware needed for each of the two necessary solutions. Make sure to measure pKa, not pKb!
From your measurement above, you have found the pKa to be 10.3. âAcid-freeâ paper should have a pH around between 8.7 and 10.2. What pH is the buffer in your paper pulp if you add 0.5 mM calcium carbonate to pulp that started with 0.35 mM acid (pH=3.37)? Hint: Find the concentration of carbonate and its conjugate acid after the reaction.
