Solution Steps

To determine the concentration of acetic acid in Buffer #1, we need additional information such as the initial concentrations and volumes of the solutions mixed to form the buffer. However, since this information is not provided, I will outline the general steps you would take to solve this problem if the necessary data were available.

Step 1: Identify Initial Concentrations and Volumes
  • Determine the initial concentration and volume of acetic acid before mixing.
  • Determine the initial concentration and volume of any other components, such as sodium acetate, if present.
Step 2: Calculate Moles of Acetic Acid
  • Use the formula: \[ \text{moles of acetic acid} = \text{initial concentration} \times \text{initial volume} \]
  • This step requires the initial concentration and volume of acetic acid.
Step 3: Calculate Final Concentration After Mixing
  • Use the total volume of the buffer solution to find the final concentration: \[ \left[\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right] = \frac{\text{moles of acetic acid}}{\text{total volume of buffer}} \]
  • The total volume of the buffer is given as 35.0 mL, which should be converted to liters for the concentration calculation.

Final Answer

Without the initial concentration and volume of acetic acid, we cannot calculate the final concentration. If these values were provided, you would substitute them into the equations above to find the concentration of acetic acid in the buffer.
