Describe the buffer capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution in relation to the addition of both concentrated and dilute acids and bases. Reference the results in Data Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 in your answer. In the presence of the acetic acid buffer solution, addition of dilute acid and dilute base did not affect the pH of the solution, as shown in tables 1 and 2. However, addition of a higher concentration of the strong acid and base altered the pH level significantly. The concentrated solutions of either the acid or the base has a significant effect in the pH of acetic acid buffer solution while the diluted acids and bases had no effect on the pH showing the buffering capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution could withstand only small amounts of the dilute acids and bases.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
