Question
8) Find the pH for 500.00mL of the buffer from exercise 5 after the addition of 100.00mL of 0.3M barium hydroxide. (Ex.5, Find the pH of a buffer composed of 0.80M ammonia and 0.90M ammonium chloride. Kb=1.8x10*-5 Answer for Ex. 5: pH= 9.21)
9)Find the pH of 500.00mL of the buffer from exercise 6 after the addition of 100.00mL of 0.3 barium hydroxide. (Ex.6, Find the pH of a buffer composed of 0.80M ammonia and 0.50M ammonium chloride. Answer Ex.6: pH=9.5)
11) If the pH of a buffer is supposed to be 2.5, what is a reasonable Ka for the weak acid used in the buffer? Many different values may be appropriate.
Explanation / Answer
8)
initially,
moles of NH3= 0.80 M * 0.5 L = 0.40 mol
moles of NH4Cl= 0.90 M * 0.5 L = 0.45 mol
added mol of OH - =2*0.3 M * 0.1 L = 0.06 mol
so,
0.06 mol of NH4Cl will react to form additional 0.06 mol of NH3
after reaction,
mol of NH3 = 0.40 + 0.06 = 0.46 mol
mol of NH4Cl= 0.45 – 0.06 = 0.39 mol
pkb = -log Kb
= -log (1.8*10^-5)
= 4.745
use:
pOH = pKb + log {NH4CL/NH3}
pOH = 4.745 + log(0.39/0.46)
= 4.67
PH = 14 – pOH
= 14 – 4.67
=9.33
Answer: 9.33
