Question

Which of the following could be added to a solution of acetic acid to prepare a buffer? sodium acetate sodium hydroxide nitric acid hydrofluoric acid sodium acetate only sodium acetate or sodium hydroxide hydrofluoric acid or nitric acid nitric acid only sodium hydroxide only A buffer that contains 0.110 M HY and 0.220 M Y has a pH of 8.77. What is the pH after 0.0010 mol of Ba(OH) is added to 0.750 L of solution? What species are in the buffer region of a weak acid-strong base titration? How are they different from the species at the equivalence point? Determine pH during the titration of 20.0 mL of 0.1000 M butanoic acid (Ka = 1.54 times 10) with 0.1000 M NaOH solutions after the following additions of titrant: 0 mL 10.00 mL 15.00 mL 19.95 mL 20.00 mL 20.50 mL 25.00 mL.

Explanation / Answer

5 ) answer : b)

8)

millimoles of acid = 20 x 0.1 = 2

pKa = -log Ka

pKa = -log (1.54x 10^-5)

pKa = 4.81

a)   0.0 mL NaOH added

pH = 1/2 [pKa - log C]

pH = 1/2 [4.81 -log 0.1]

pH = 2.90

b) 10.00 mL added

it is half equivalence point here pH = pKa

pH = 4.81

c) 15.00 mL added

millimoles of base = 0.1 x 15 = 1.5

HA   + NaOH --------------------> NaA + H2O

2           1.5                                0            0 --------------> initial

0.5        0                                    1.5        -   ---------------> after reaction

pH = pKa + log [NaA / HA]

pH = 4.81 + log (1.5 / 0.5)

pH = 5.29

d) 19.95 mL added

millimoles of base = 0.1 x 19.95 = 1.995

HA   + NaOH --------------------> NaA + H2O

2           1.995                            0            0 --------------> initial

0.005      0                                1.995        -   ---------------> after reaction

pH = pKa + log [NaA / HA]

pH = 4.81 + log (1.995 / 0.005)

pH = 7.41

e) 20.00 mL added :

it is equivalencepoint here only salt remains

salt molarity = 20 x 0.1 / (20 +20) = 0.05 M

pH = 7 + 1/2 [pKa +logC]

pH = 7 + 1/2 [4.81 + log 0.05]

pH = 8.75

f) 20.50 mL NaOH added

it is after the equivalence point so base remains

[OH-] = (20.50 x 0.1 - 20 x 0.1 ) / (20 +20.50)

         = 1.23 x 10^-3 M

pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = 2.91

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 11.09

g) 25 .00 mL NaOH added

it is after the equivalence point so base remains

[OH-] = (25 x 0.1 - 20 x 0.1 ) / (20 +25)

         = 0.011 M

pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = 1.95

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 12.05
