2. The common ion effect is the shift in equilibrium caused by the addition of a compound having an ion in common with the dissolved substance. The presence of a common ion suppresses the ionization of a weak acid or a weak base. Consider mixture of CH 3 COONa (strong electrolyte) and CH 3 COOH (weak acid). CH 3 COONa (s) Na + (aq) + CH 3 COO - (aq) CH 3 COOH (aq) H + (aq) + CH 3 COO - (aq) common ion

3. Consider mixture of salt NaA and weak acid HA. HA (aq) H + (aq) + A - (aq) NaA (s) Na + (aq) + A - (aq) K a = [H + ][A - ] [HA] [H + ] = K a [HA] [A - ] -log [H + ] = -log K a - log [HA] [A - ] -log [H + ] = -log K a + log [A - ] [HA] pH = pK a + log [A - ] [HA] Also pK a = -log K a Henderson-Hasselbalch equation 16.2 pH = pK a + log [conjugate base] [acid]

4. What is the pH of a solution containing 0.30 M HCOOH (weak acid) and 0.52 M HCOOK? HCOOH (aq) H + (aq) + HCOO - (aq) Initial (M) Change (M) Equilibrium (M) 0.300.00 -x-x+x+x 0.30 - x 0.52 +x+x x0.52 + x Common ion effect 0.30 – x  0.30 0.52 + x  0.52 pH = pK a + log [HCOO - ] [HCOOH] HCOOH pK a = 3.77 pH = 3.77 + log [0.52] [0.30] = 4.01 16.2 Mixture of weak acid and conjugate base! HCOOH pK a = 3.77

5. A buffer solution is a solution of: 1.A weak acid or a weak base and 2.The salt of the weak acid or weak base Both must be present! 1.0.01 mole of HCl is added to 1 L of pure water, the PH changes from its initial 7 to 2. (change of 5 PH units) 2.0.01 mole of HCl is added to a solution containing both 0.1 M acetic acid (HC 2 H 3 O 2 ) and 0.1 M sodium acetate (NaC 2 H 3 O 2 ), the PH changes from initial value of 4.74 to 4.66. (change of 0.08 PH units) Buffered solutions are important to living organisms whose cells can survive only in a very narrow PH range. Goldfish need buffering aqurium water at an appropriate PH. Human’s blood need to maintain the PH between 7.35 and 7.45.

6. A buffer solution has the ability to resist changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of either acid or base. Add strong acid H + (aq) + CH 3 COO - (aq) CH 3 COOH (aq) Add strong base OH - (aq) + CH 3 COOH (aq) CH 3 COO - (aq) + H 2 O (l) Consider an equal molar mixture of CH 3 COOH and CH 3 COONa

7. Which of the following are buffer systems? (a) KF/HF (b) KBr/HBr, (c) Na 2 CO 3 /NaHCO 3 (a) HF 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 its conjugate acid buffer solution 16.3

NH 4 + (aq) H + (aq) + NH 3 (aq) pH = pK a + log [NH 3 ] [NH 4 + ] pK a = 9.25 pH = 9.25 + log [0.30] [0.36] = 9.17 NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq) H 2 O (l) + NH 3 (aq) start (moles)0.0290.001 0.024 0.028 0.0 0.025 pH = 9.25 + log [0.25] [0.28] [NH 4 + ] = 0.028 0.10 final volume = 80.0 mL + 20.0 mL = 100 mL [NH 3 ] = 0.025 0.10 16.3 pK a = 9.25 end (moles)

9. Titrations In a titration a solution of accurately known concentration is added gradually added to another solution of unknown concentration until the chemical reaction between the two solutions is complete. 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) 4.7
