pH=pKa+log([A-]/[HX])
6.11=-log(1.72*10-6)+log(x)
x=2.216
This is the ratio of [X-]/[HX]
Find mol HX from 250.0 mL of a 1.0 M
0.250L(1mol/L)=0.250 mol HX
2.216=(mol X-)/(mol HX)
2.216=x/0.250
x=0.554 mol X-
use molar mass: mass of NaX (MM 130.5 g/mol)
0.554 mol X- = 0.554 mol NaX
0.554 mol NaX (130.5 g/mol)=72.297 g NaX
