That very simple answer was probably the best answer you could have given me! Tha k you so very much for having the patience for dealing with slightly dense people like me!

Since the problem called for using the henderson-hasselbalch equation, and that entails using the concentration of the acid, I used the volume used in the lab for the titration (25 mL). Not sure if that is right... but I got an answer. I will check with a few of my class mates before lab in the...

I appreciate your responce, any responce really. Although, your equation set seems to need a volume as well, and the problem I am to work out does not include one. That is a big area I am being messed up. As well as the problem states to use that particular equation to find the moles of base needed.

Homework Statement You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.70. You already have a solution that contains 0.0200 moles of acetic acid. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation calculate the moles of sodium acetate needed to create a buffer with the desired pH? The Ka of acetic...

You know what is hilarious? We will be going over those type of acids and bases Wednesday (decided to go look in my chem book to see if I glossed over it somehow and low and behold! ) (: if this conversation had happened then, I wouldn't feel so out of the loop lol. Thanks for all the help though!

Thank yall so much for replying! But just to clarify, the solution would not corrode or otherwise eat away at the tubing? I wouldn't think that it would, but just wanting to be sure. And the Arrhenius theory sounds familiar, the other not so much. We have not talked about proton sharing...

I was reading a post on Facebook about cleaning and it said to mix rubbing alcohol and vinegar and put it in your windown washer fluid tank. Someone commented that it would corrode or eat away at the tubing. I keep thinking the mixture would be an acid /base mixture and would neutralize. I was...
