Sodium acetate (82 g/mol) is dissolved in 250 mL of 0.40 M acetic acid to make a buffer with pH = (). Find the mass of sodium acetate in grams, to one decimal place (neglect volume change).

Numerical answer type, answer in g, tolerance 0.1.

Answer: 16.4 g

Acid = 0.10 mol; salt/acid = 2 so salt = 0.20 mol; mass = g.
