C. you wish to prepare 100 ml (total volume) of a buffer solution that is 0.025 m in carbonic acid, ph 7.25. you have solid h2co3 and solid nahco3. calculate how many grams of h2co3 and hco3- you need to weigh out to prepare this solution. mass of h2co3 g and mass of hco3- g

Total volume required = 100mL

The concentration of carbonic acid = 0.025

Let concentration of sodium bi carbonate = [NaHCO3]

From Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation for buffers

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

pKa of carbonic acid = 6.35

7.25 = 6.35 + log [NaHCO3] / 0.025

0.9 = log [NaHCO3] / 0.025

Taking antilog

7.943 =  [NaHCO3] / 0.025

[NaHCO3]  = 7.943 X  0.025

[NaHCO3]  = 0.199 M

Volume is 100mL

Moles of NaHCO3 = molarity X volume (L) = 0.199 X 0.1 = 0.0199

Mass of NaHCO3 = moles X molar mass = 0.0199 X 84 = 1.672 g

moles of H2CO3 = molarity X volume (L) = 0.025 X 0.1 = 0.0025

Mass of H2CO3 = moles X molar mass = 0.0025 X 62 = 0.155 g

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
