A student was required to prepare 250.0 mL of a hypochlorous acid/sodium hypochlorite buffer in which the concentration of the weak acid component was 0.08 M and the concentration of the conjugate base was 0.051 M. The student was supplied with 0.447 M hypochlorous acid and 1.0M NaOH to perform this task. What volume (in mL) of the acid would the student need to prepare this buffer solution? Hint: assume that all of the conjugate base comes directly from the reaction of NaOH with the weak acid (in other words, there is negligible dissociation of the weak acid).

A student was required to prepare 250.0 mL of a hypochlorous acid/sodium hypochlorite buffer in
which the concentration of the weak acid component was 0.08 M and the concentration of the
conjugate base was 0.051 M. The student was supplied with 0.447 M hypochlorous acid and 1.0M
NaOH to perform this task. What volume (in mL) of the acid would the student need to prepare this
buffer solution?
Hint: assume that all of the conjugate base comes directly from the reaction of NaOH with the weak
acid (in other words, there is negligible dissociation of the weak acid).
