Acid-Base Equilibria and Solubility Equilibria Chapter 17

Calculating pH Changes in Buffers A buffer is made by adding mol CH 3 CO 2 H and mol CH 3 CO 2 Na to enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. The pH of the buffer is Calculate the pH of this solution after mol of NaOH is added.

Calculating pH Changes in Buffers Before the reaction, since mol CH 3 CO 2 H = mol CH 3 CO 2 − pH = pK a = −log (1.8  10 −5 ) = 4.74

Calculating pH Changes in Buffers The mol NaOH will react with mol of the acetic acid: CH 3 CO 2 H (aq) + OH − (aq)  CH 3 CO 2 − (aq) + H 2 O (l) CH 3 CO 2 HCH 3 CO 2 − OH − Before reaction0.300 mol mol After reaction0.280 mol0.320 mol0.000 mol New concentrations: mol/ 1 L = M CH 3 CO 2 H mol/ 1 L = M CH 3 CO 2 -

Calculating pH Changes in Buffers Now use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation to calculate the new pH: pH = log (0.320) (0. 280) pH = pH = 4.80

Which of the following are buffer systems? (a) KF/HF (b) KBr/HBr, (c) Na 2 CO 3 /NaHCO 3 (a) KF is a weak acid and F - is its conjugate base buffer solution (b) HBr is a strong acid not a buffer solution (c) CO 3 2- is a weak base and HCO 3 - is it conjugate acid buffer solution 17.3

NH 4 + (aq) H + (aq) + NH 3 (aq) pH = pK a + log [NH 3 ] [NH 4 + ] pK a = 9.25 pH = log [0.30] [0.36] = 9.17 NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq) H 2 O (l) + NH 3 (aq) start (moles) end (moles) pH = log [0.25] [0.28] [NH 4 + ] = final volume = 80.0 mL mL = 100 mL [NH 3 ] =

Titration In a titration a solution of accurately known concentration is added gradually to another solution of unknown concentration until the chemical reaction between the two solutions is complete.

Titration A pH meter or indicators are used to determine when the solution has reached the equivalence point, at which the stoichiometric amount of acid equals that of base.

Titrations Equivalence point – the point at which the reaction is complete Indicator – substance that changes color at (or near) the equivalence point Slowly add base to unknown acid UNTIL The indicator changes color (pink) 17.3 Change in indicator color occurs at the point when all of the acid or base being titrated has reacted. At this point any additional titrant reacts with the indicator.

Titration of a Strong Acid with a Strong Base From the start of the titration to near the equivalence point, the pH goes up slowly.

Just before and after the equivalence point, the pH increases rapidly. Titration of a Strong Acid with a Strong Base

At the equivalence point, moles acid = moles base, and the solution contains only water and the salt from the cation of the base and the anion of the acid. Titration of a Strong Acid with a Strong Base

As more base is added, the increase in pH again levels off. Titration of a Strong Acid with a Strong Base

Unlike in the previous case, the conjugate base of the acid affects the pH when it is formed. The pH at the equivalence point will be >7. Phenolphthalein is commonly used as an indicator in these titrations. Titration of a Strong Acid with a Strong Base Weak acid/strong base or strong acid/weak base

Which indicator(s) would you use for a titration of HNO 2 with KOH ? Weak acid titrated with strong base. At equivalence point, will have conjugate base of weak acid. At equivalence point, pH > 7 Use cresol red or phenolphthalein 17.5
