pH = -log[H+] The pH scale is a logarithmic scale.
This means that in order to change the pH by one unit there must be a tenfold change in the [H+]. Find the pH of a solution with [H+] = 0.010M Find the pH of a solution with [H+] = 0.10M

Diprotic and Triprotic Acids
A diprotic acid ionizes in two steps because it has two ionizable hydrogens. A triprotic acid ionizes in three steps because it has three ionizable hydrogens.

Common Ion Problems. What is the “common ion” in each example?
Example page 549 10.0ml of 0.10M HCl and 25.0ml of 0.10M NH3 are mixed. Calculate the [OH-]. Example page 548 0.10 mol CH3CO2H and 0.50 mol NaCH3CO2 are dissolved in 1.0L of solution. Calculate [H3O+]. Buffers are also examples of the common ion effect since they are mixtures where both substances produce the same ion. Both of the solution mixtures above are buffers.
34
Buffers A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Buffer solutions have the property that the pH of the solution changes very little when a small amount of acid or base is added to it.
35
Demonstration: Buffered vs. Non-buffered solutions
36
Why are these solutions buffers?
Example page 549 10.0ml of 0.10M HCl and 25.0ml of 0.10M NH3 are mixed. Calculate the [OH-]. Example page 548 0.10 mol CH3CO2H and 0.50 mol NaCH3CO2 are dissolved in 1.0L of solution. Calculate [H3O+].
37
How buffers work Weak acids and weak bases tend to remain in high concentrations when added to water because by definition they do not ionize much in water since they are weak. However, they are very likely to react with any added strong base or strong acid.
38
Why are weak acids/bases used to create buffers?
39
Remember this problem Calculate the pH of: pH = 1.00 pH = 2.89
0.10 M solution of HNO3 0.10 M solution of CH3CO2H (1.3% ionized) What would the [CH3CO2H] have to be for it to have the same pH as the HNO3 assuming the 1.3% ionization factor does not change? 0.10M = [CH3CO2H](0.013) [CH3CO2H] = 7.7 M pH = 1.00 pH = 2.89
40
Why are weak acids/bases used to create buffers?
That’s right 7.7 M [CH3CO2H] vs. 0.10M have the same pH. In other words the [CH3CO2H] is 77 times greater [HNO3]. It takes much more base to change the pH of a weak acid solution as compared to a strong acid solution of the same pH because there are many more moles of acid available to neutralize base in the weak acid as compared to the strong acid.
41
Weak Acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A-) buffer
42
Adding a strong base to the buffer
If a strong base is added to a buffer, the weak acid will give up its H+ in order to transform the base (OH-) into water (H2O) and the conjugate base: HA + OH- → A- + H2O. Since the added OH- is consumed by this reaction, the pH will change only slightly.
43
Adding a strong acid to the buffer
If a strong acid is added to a buffer, the weak base will react with the H+ from the strong acid to form the weak acid, HA: H+ + A- → HA The H+ gets absorbed by the A- instead of reacting with water to form H3O+ (H+), so the pH changes only slightly.
44
An effective buffer requires relatively equal amounts of weak acid and conjugate base.
45
Basic Buffers Note that the same ideas hold true for weak bases, (B), and their conjugate acids (BH+).
46
For the most effective buffers Ka = [H3O+]
HA + H2O ↔ A- + H3O+ Consider acetic acid

58
Effective Buffers The previous formulas only apply when the concentrations of weak acid and conjugate base or weak base and conjugate acid are equal. However it is important to note that you do not have to have equal concentrations to have a buffer.

Example page 551 Calculate the pH of a buffer that is 0.10 M acetic acid and 0.10 M sodium acetate. pH = 4.74
70
Buffer Capacity Buffer capacity: the amount of an acid or base that can be added to a volume of a buffer solution before its pH changes significantly. Buffer capacity depends on the amount (moles) of the conjugate pair used to make the buffer. Buffer solutions have essentially lost their buffering capabilities when one component of the conjugate pair is about 10% or less of the other.

Titration titrant analyte
78
Titration Curves A titration curve is a plot of the pH against the volume of acid or base added in a titration. The equivalence point or endpoint for a titration is the point at which exactly enough of the titrant has been added to completely react with the analyte. In other words, at the equivalence point, the number of moles of titrant added corresponds exactly to the number of moles of substance being titrated, the analyte, according to the reaction stoichiometry.

Table 17.8 Page 568
82
How do we choose an appropriate indicator for a titration?
83
Indicators An acid – base indicator is a substance that indicates how acidic or basic a solution is using certain color changes. Indicators are normally weak acids that have a different color than their conjugate base. HA + H2O ↔ H3O+ + A- Indicators can also be weak bases that have a different color than their conjugate acid.
84
Indicators Remember that the equivalence point of a titration is where you have mixed the two substances in exact stoichiometric proportions. You obviously need to choose an indicator which changes color as close as possible to that equivalence point. The indicator should have a pKa value near the pH of the titration's endpoint. That varies from titration to titration.
