Question:

Sodium carbonate is mixed into a solution of acetic acid and the container is rapidly closed before the container components react. The amount of sodium carbonate is such that the total sodium concentration is 1E-2 m and the total acetate concentration is also 1E-2 m. When the mixture equilibrates, the partial pressure of CO2 over the solution is measured to be 0.5 bar. Determine the pH and concentrations of the acetate species. The Henry’s law constant for CO2 at 298.15 K is 0.035 (mol/kg-bar).
