Slide 2

The Common Ion Effect & Buffer Solutions 2 Common ion effect - solutions in which the same ion is produced by two different compounds Buffer solutions - resist changes in pH when acids or bases are added to them due to common ion effect Two common kinds of buffer solutions 1solutions of a weak acid plus a soluble ionic salt of the weak acid 2solutions of a weak base plus a soluble ionic salt of the weak base

Slide 3

Weak Acids plus Salts of Weak Acids For example ~ acetic acid CH 3 COOH and sodium acetate NaCH 3 COO 3

Slide 4

Ex. 1) Calculate the concentration of H + and the pH of a solution that is 0.15 M in acetic acid and 0.15 M in sodium acetate. K a = 1.8 x 10 -5 4 (note: sodium acetate completely dissociates) R CH 3 COOH + H 2 O CH 3 COO- + H 3 O + I.0.15 0.150 C.-x +x+x E. 0.15 x0.15 + xx

Slide 6

Compare the acidity of a pure acetic acid solution and the buffer we just described. Notice that [H + ] is 89 times greater in pure acetic acid than in buffer solution. 6

Slide 7

7 Weak Bases plus Salts of Weak Bases Ex.2) Calculate the concentration of OH- and the pH of the solution that is 0.15 M in aqueous ammonia, NH 3, and 0.30 M in ammonium nitrate, NH 4 NO 3. K b = 1.8 x 10 -5 R NH 3 + H 2 O NH 4 + + OH - I 0.15 0.30 0 C -x + x + x E 0.15 x 0.30 + x x

Slide 8

8 Substitute these values into the ionization expression for ammonia and solve algebraically.

Slide 9

9 Weak Bases plus Salts of Weak Bases Lets compare the aqueous ammonia concentration to that of the buffer described above. Note, the [OH - ] in aqueous ammonia is 180 times greater than in the buffer.

Slide 10

Henderson-Hasselbach equation For acids: For bases: Remember: pX = -log X

Slide 11

11 Buffering Action Buffer solutions resist changes in pH. Ex. 3) If 0.020 mole of HCl is added to 1.00 liter of solution that is 0.100 M in aqueous ammonia and 0.200 M in ammonium chloride, how much does the pH change? Assume no volume change due to addition of the gaseous HCl.

Slide 12

1 st ~ Calculate the pH of the original buffer solution

Slide 13

13 2 nd ~ Calculate the concentration of all species after the addition of HCl. HCl will react with some of the ammonia

Slide 14

14 3 rd ~ Now that you have the concentrations of our salt and base, you can calculate the new pH.

Slide 15

15 4 th ~ Calculate the change in pH.

Slide 16

16 Ex. 4) If 0.020 mole of NaOH is added to 1.00 liter of solution that is 0.100 M in aqueous ammonia and 0.200 M in ammonium chloride, how much does the pH change? Assume no volume change due to addition of the solid NaOH.

Slide 17

17 Preparation of Buffer Solutions Ex. 5) Calculate the concentration of H + and the pH of the solution prepared by mixing 200 mL of 0.150 M acetic acid and 100 mL of 0.100 M sodium hydroxide solutions. Determine the amounts of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide (before reaction)

Slide 18

18 Preparation of Buffer Solutions For biochemical situations, it is sometimes important to prepare a buffer solution of a given pH. Ex. 6) A) Find the number of moles of solid ammonium chloride, NH 4 Cl, that must be used to prepare 1.00 L of a buffer solution that is 0.10 M in aqueous ammonia, and that has a pH of 9.15 B) What mass is needed?

19 Acid-Base Indicators Equivalence point - point at which chemically equivalent amounts of acid and base have reacted End point - point at which chemical indicator changes color

Slide 20

20 Common Acid-Base Indicators

Slide 21

21 Strong Acid/Strong Base Titration Curves Titration curves are graphs that show the pH at various amounts of titrate added. Allows you to find the equivalence point. For Titration curves, Plot pH vs. Volume of acid or base added in titration.

Slide 22

Ex. 7) Consider the titration of 100.0 mL of 0.100 M perchloric acid with 0.100 M potassium hydroxide. Find the equivalence point of this rxn. Plot pH vs. mL of KOH added 1:1 mole ratio

Slide 23

23 Strong Acid/Strong Base Titration Curves Before titration starts the pH of the HClO 4 solution is 1.00 Remember that perchloric acid is a strong acid

Slide 24

24 After 20.0 mL of 0.100 M KOH has been added the new pH is 1.17.

Slide 25

25 After 50.0 mL of 0.100 M KOH has been added the pH is 1.48.

Slide 26

26 After 90.0 mL of 0.100 M KOH has been added the pH is 2.28.

Slide 27

27 After 100.0 mL of 0.100 M KOH has been added the pH is 7.00.

Slide 28

28 Strong Acid/Strong Base Titration Curves Weve calculated only a few points on the titration curve. Similar calculations for the remainder of titration can show clearly the shape of the titration curve.

Slide 29

29 Weak Acid/Strong Base Titration Curves Salts of weak acids and strong bases hydrolyze to give basic solns so the soln is basic at the equivalence point and the soln is buffered before the equivalence point.

Slide 30

30 Strong Acid/Weak Base Titration Curves Titration curves for Strong Acid/Weak Bases look similar to Strong Base/Weak Acid but they are inverted. The soln is buffered before the equivalence point and is acidic at the equivalence point.

Slide 31

31 Weak Acid/Weak Base Titration Curves Titration curves have very short vertical sections. Solution is buffered both before and after the equivalence point. Visual indicators cannot be used. Instead you can measure the conductivity in order to find the end point. The math is complex, we will not worry about it in AP Chem.
