A typical solution of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO 3 ) has a pH that is independent

Question:

A typical solution of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) has a pH that is independent of concentration. The pH of a solution of sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) does depend on the concentration.

a. Explain why the pH of a typical solution of sodium bicarbonate is concentration-independent, whereas the pH of a solution of sodium bisulfate is concentration-dependent.

b. What is the pH of a solution of NaHCO3?

c. Determine the pH of a solution of 0.010 M NaHSO4.
