All rights reserved 2 Common Ion Effect  Shift in equilibrium position that occurs because of the addition of an ion already involved in the equilibrium reaction.  An application of Le Châtelier’s principle.

3. Section 15.1 Solutions of Acids or Bases Containing a Common Ion Example HCN(aq) + H 2 O(l) H 3 O + (aq) + CN - (aq)  Addition of NaCN will shift the equilibrium to the left because of the addition of CN -, which is already involved in the equilibrium reaction.  A solution of HCN and NaCN is less acidic than a solution of HCN alone.

4. Section 15.2 Buffered Solutions Key Points about Buffered Solutions  Buffered Solution – resists a change in pH.  They are weak acids or bases containing a common ion.  After addition of strong acid or base, deal with stoichiometry first, then the equilibrium.

10. Section 15.2 Buffered Solutions Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation  For a particular buffering system (conjugate acid–base pair), all solutions that have the same ratio [A – ] / [HA] will have the same pH. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 10

13. Section 15.2 Buffered Solutions Buffered Solution Characteristics  Buffers contain relatively large concentrations of a weak acid and corresponding conjugate base.  Added H + reacts to completion with the weak base.  Added OH - reacts to completion with the weak acid. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 13

14. Section 15.2 Buffered Solutions Buffered Solution Characteristics  The pH in the buffered solution is determined by the ratio of the concentrations of the weak acid and weak base. As long as this ratio remains virtually constant, the pH will remain virtually constant. This will be the case as long as the concentrations of the buffering materials (HA and A – or B and BH + ) are large compared with amounts of H + or OH – added. Copyright © Cengage Learning.

15. Section 15.3 Buffering Capacity  The amount of protons or hydroxide ions the buffer can absorb without a significant change in pH.  Determined by the magnitudes of [HA] and [A – ].  A buffer with large capacity contains large concentrations of the buffering components. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 15

16. Section 15.3 Buffering Capacity  Optimal buffering occurs when [HA] is equal to [A – ].  It is for this condition that the ratio [A – ] / [HA] is most resistant to change when H + or OH – is added to the buffered solution. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 16

17. Section 15.3 Buffering Capacity Choosing a Buffer  pK a of the weak acid to be used in the buffer should be as close as possible to the desired pH. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 17

18. Section 15.4 Titrations and pH Curves Titration Curve  Plotting the pH of the solution being analyzed as a function of the amount of titrant added.  Equivalence (Stoichiometric) Point – point in the titration when enough titrant has been added to react exactly with the substance in solution being titrated.
