Applications of Aqueous Equilibria
“Common Ions”• When we dissolve acetic acid in water, the
following equilibrium is established:– CH3COOH CH3COO- + H+
• If sodium acetate were dissolved in solution, which way would this equilibrium shift?
“Common Ions”• When we dissolve acetic acid in water, the
following equilibrium is established:– CH3COOH CH3COO- + H+
• If sodium acetate were dissolved in solution, which way would this equilibrium shift?– Adding acetate ions from a strong electrolyte would
shift this equilibrium left (Le Chatelier’s principle).
Common Ion Effect
• Whenever a weak electrolyte (acetic acid) and a strong electrolyte (sodium acetate) share a common ion, the weak electrolyte ionizes less than it would if it were alone. (Le Chatelier’s)
• This is called the common-ion effect.
Steps for Common-Ion Problems
• 1. Consider which solutes are strong electrolyte and weak electrolytes.
• 2. Identify the important equilibrium (weak) that is the source of H+ and therefore determines pH.
• 3. Create an ICE chart using the equilibrium and strong electrolyte concentrations.
• 4. Use the equilibrium constant expression to calculuate [H+] and pH.

Buffer Capacity and pHBuffer Capacity and pH
Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base neutralized by the buffer before there is a significant change in pH.
The greater the amounts(molarity) of the conjugate acid-base pair, the greater the buffer capacity.
The pH of the buffer depends on Ka

Break the calculation into two parts: stoichiometric and equilibrium.
The amount of strong acid or base added results in a neutralization reaction:
X- + H+ HX + H2O
HX + OH- X- + H2O.
By knowing how much H+ or OH- was added (stoichiometry) we know how much HX or X- is formed.

are used as the initial concentrations for the equilibrium reaction.

Buffer Buffer ZoneZone
For this experiment, you will prepare a buffer that contains acetic acid and its conjugate base, the acetate ions. The equilibrium equation for the reaction is shown below:
HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) <=> H+ (aq)+ C2H3O2- (aq)
The equilibrium expression for this reaction, Ka, has a value of 1.8 x 10-5 at 25ºC.
Acetic Acid/Acetate Ion Buffer LabAcetic Acid/Acetate Ion Buffer Lab
Acetic Acid/Acetate Ion Buffer LabAcetic Acid/Acetate Ion Buffer Lab The ratio between the molarity of the acetate ions to the
molarity of the acetic acid in your buffer must equal the ratio between the Ka value and 10- assigned pH.
This ratio should be reduced , so that either the [HC2H3O2] or [C2H3O2
- ] has a concentration of 0.10 M, and the concentration of the other component must fall within a range from 0.10 M to 1.00 M.

Select the indicator that undergoes a color change closest to the pH at the equivalence point, where all of the acid has been neutralized by the base.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Strong Acid-Base TitrationsStrong Acid-Base Titrations• Consider adding a strong base (e.g. NaOH) to a
solution of a strong acid (e.g. HCl).– Before any base is added, the pH is given by the strong acid
solution. Therefore, pH < 7.
– When base is added, before the equivalence point, the pH is given by the amount of strong acid in excess. Therefore, pH < 7.
– At equivalence point, the amount of base added is stoichiometrically equivalent to the amount of acid originally present. Therefore, the pH is determined by the salt solution. Therefore, pH = 7.

Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Strong Acid-Base TitrationsStrong Acid-Base Titrations• We know the pH at equivalent point is 7.00. • To detect the equivalent point, we use an indicator
that changes color somewhere near 7.00.– Usually, we use phenolphthalein that changes color between
pH 8.3 to 10.0.– In acid, phenolphthalein is colorless.– As NaOH is added, there is a slight pink color at the
addition point.– When the flask is swirled and the reagents mixed, the pink
color disappears.– At the end point, the solution is light pink.– If more base is added, the solution turns darker pink.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Strong Acid-Base TitrationsStrong Acid-Base Titrations• The equivalence point in a titration is the point at
which the acid and base are present in stoichiometric quantities.
• The end point in a titration is the observed point.• The difference between equivalence point and end
point is called the titration error.• The shape of a strong base-strong acid titration curve
is very similar to a strong acid-strong base titration curve.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Strong Acid-Base TitrationsStrong Acid-Base Titrations
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Strong Acid-Base TitrationsStrong Acid-Base Titrations• Initially, the strong base is in excess, so the pH > 7.• As acid is added, the pH decreases but is still greater
than 7.• At equivalence point, the pH is given by the salt
solution (i.e. pH = 7).• After equivalence point, the pH is given by the strong
acid in excess, so pH < 7.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Weak Acid-Strong Base TitrationsWeak Acid-Strong Base Titrations• Consider the titration of acetic acid, HC2H3O2 and
NaOH.• Before any base is added, the solution contains only
weak acid. Therefore, pH is given by the equilibrium calculation.
• As strong base is added, the strong base consumes a stoichiometric quantity of weak acid:
HC2H3O2(aq) + NaOH(aq) C2H3O2-(aq) + H2O(l)
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Weak Acid-Strong Base TitrationsWeak Acid-Strong Base Titrations
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Weak Acid-Strong Base TitrationsWeak Acid-Strong Base Titrations• There is an excess of acetic acid before the
equivalence point. • Therefore, we have a mixture of weak acid and its
conjugate base.– The pH is given by the buffer calculation.
• First the amount of C2H3O2- generated is calculated,
as well as the amount of HC2H3O2 consumed.
(Stoichiometry.)• Then the pH is calculated using equilibrium
conditions. (Henderson-Hasselbalch.)
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Weak Acid-Strong Base TitrationsWeak Acid-Strong Base Titrations• At the equivalence point, all the acetic acid has been
consumed and all the NaOH has been consumed. However, C2H3O2
- has been generated.
– Therefore, the pH is given by the C2H3O2- solution.
– This means pH > 7.• More importantly, pH 7 for a weak acid-strong base titration.
• After the equivalence point, the pH is given by the strong base in excess.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Weak Acid-Strong Base TitrationsWeak Acid-Strong Base Titrations• For a strong acid-strong base titration, the pH begins
at less than 7 and gradually increases as base is added.
• Near the equivalence point, the pH increases dramatically.
• For a weak acid-strong base titration, the initial pH rise is more steep than the strong acid-strong base case.
• However, then there is a leveling off due to buffer effects.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Weak Acid-Strong Base TitrationsWeak Acid-Strong Base Titrations• The inflection point is not as steep for a weak acid-
strong base titration.• The shape of the two curves after equivalence point is
the same because pH is determined by the strong base in excess.
• Two features of titration curves are affected by the strength of the acid:– the amount of the initial rise in pH, and
– the length of the inflection point at equivalence.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Weak Acid-Strong Base TitrationsWeak Acid-Strong Base Titrations
• The weaker the acid, the smaller the equivalence point inflection.
• For very weak acids, it is impossible to detect the equivalence point.

features to weak acid-strong base titrations.
Acid-Base TitrationsAcid-Base Titrations Titrations of Polyprotic AcidsTitrations of Polyprotic Acids• In polyprotic acids, each ionizable proton dissociates
in steps.• Therefore, in a titration there are n equivalence
points corresponding to each ionizable proton.
• In the titration of Na2CO3 with HCl there are two equivalence points:– one for the formation of HCO3

– one for the formation of H2CO3.

At equilibrium, the system is a saturated solution of silver and chloride ions.
The only way to know that it is saturated it to observe some AgCl at the bottom of the solution.
As such, [AgCl] is a constant and KSP expressions do not include the solid form in the equilibrium expression. The [H2O] for solvation process is also excluded from the KSP expression.
Solubility Products, KSP
Determine the solubility of AgCl in water at 20 oC in terms of grams / 100 mL
KSP = [Ag+] [Cl-] = 1.7 x 10-10
At equilibrium, [Ag+] = [Cl-] so
1.7 x 10-10 = [x] 2
[Ag+] = 1.3 x 10-5 M
g AgCl = 1.3 x 10-5 mol/L * 0.10 L * 143.32 g/mol
Solubility = 1.9 x 10-4 g / 100 mL
Calculating Ksp
Calculate the Ksp for Bismuth Sulfide which has a solubility of 1.0 x 10-15 .
Bi2S3 → 2Bi+3 + 3S-2
Ksp =
For every Bi2S3 dissolved
2 Bi+3 and 3S-2 are formed
Ksp = [2 x 1.0 x 10-15 ]2 • [3 x 1.0 x 10-15 ]3
= 1.1 x 10-73
[Bi+3]2 • [S-2]3
Calculating SolubilityCalculate the concentration of ions for copper (II) iodate.
ksp = 1.4 x 10-7 at 25 °C
Cu(IO3)2(s) Cu+2 + 2 IO3-1
1.4 x 10-7 = [x] • [ 2x]2 = 4x3
x = 3.3 x 10-3 mol/L = [Cu+2]
2x = 6.6 x 10-3 mol/L = [IO3-1]
3.3 x 10-3 mol/L = [Cu(IO3)2]
Solubility Products, KSPAnother exampleAnother example
Calculate the silver ion concentration when excess silver chromate is added to a 0.010 M sodium chromate solution.
KSP Ag2CrO4 = 1.1 x 10-12
Ag2CrO4 (s) 2Ag+ + CrO42-
Solubility Products, KSPKSP = 1.1 x 10-12 = [ Ag+ ]2 [ CrO4
2- ]
[CrO42-] = [CrO4
2-]Ag2CrO4 + [CrO42-]Na2CrO4
With such a small value for KSP, we can assume that the [CrO4
2-] from Ag2CrO4 is negligible.
If we’re wrong, our silver concentration will be significant (>1% of the chromate concentration.)
Then you’d use the quadratic approach.
Solubility Products, KSP
KSP = 1.1 x 10-12 = [ Ag+ ]2 [ CrO42- ]
[CrO42-] = 0.010 M
[ Ag+ ] = ( KSP / [ CrO42- ] ) 1/2
= (1.1 x 10-12 / 0.010 M ) 1/2
= 1.1 x 10 -5 M
[ Ag+ ] << [ CrO42- ]
so our assumption was valid.
Relative Solubility
• Be careful when comparing solubility products (Ksp)
• Compare – AgI Ksp = 1.5 x 10-16
– CuI Ksp = 5.0 x 10-12
• Which is more soluble?
Copper (I) iodide is more soluble. Each compound produces the same number ions
Relative Solubility
• CuS Ksp = 8.5 x 10-45
• Ag2S Ksp = 1.6 x 10-49
• Bi2S3 Ksp = 1.1 x 10-73
Which is more soluble?Each has a different number of ions, so calculate the solubility of each.

As with other equilibria we’ve discussed, adding a ‘common’ ion will result in a shift of a solubility equilibrium.
AgCl (s) Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
KSP = [Ag+] [Cl-]
Adding either Ag+ or Cl- to our equilibrium system will result in driving it to the left.

or a strong base.• Examples: hydroxides and oxides of Al3+, Cr3+, Zn2+,
and Sn2+.• The hydroxides generally form complex ions with
four hydroxide ligands attached to the metal:
• Hydrated metal ions act as weak acids. Thus, the amphoterism is interrupted:

Factors That Affect SolubilityFactors That Affect Solubility Solubility and pHSolubility and pH• Again we apply Le Châtelier’s principle:
– If the F- is removed, then the equilibrium shifts towards the decrease and CaF2 dissolves.
– F- can be removed by adding a strong acid:
– As pH decreases, [H+] increases and solubility increases.
• The effect of pH on solubility is dramatic.

• In general: the solubility product is the molar concentration of ions raised to their stoichiometric powers.
• Solubility is the amount (grams) of substance that dissolves to form a saturated solution.
• Molar solubility is the number of moles of solute dissolving to form a liter of saturated solution.
Solubility EquilibriaSolubility Equilibria Solubility and Solubility and KKspsp
To convert solubility to Ksp
• solubility needs to be converted into molar solubility (via molar mass);
• molar solubility is converted into the molar concentration of ions at equilibrium (equilibrium calculation),
• Ksp is the product of equilibrium concentration of ions.

Precipitation Reactions
• We will use “Q” and Ksp
• If Q is bigger than Ksp, what will happen?
– Smaller
• The Q in a solubilty problem is called the
Ion Product
A solution prepared by adding 750 mL of 4.00 x 10-
3 M Ce(NO3)3 to 300.0 mL of 2.00 x 10-2 M KIO3. Will Ce(IO3)3 precipitate? (Ksp = 1.9 x 10-10)
• Step one: Calculate the concentration of Ce+3 and IO3-1 before
a reaction occurs
[Ce+3]0 = (750.0 mL)(4.00x10-3 M) = 2.86 x 10-3 M(750. + 300.mL)
[IO3-1]0 = (300.0 mL)(2.00x10-3 M) = 5.71 x 10-3 M
(750. + 300.mL)
Q = (2.86 x 10-3 M) x (5.71 x 10-3 M)3 = 5.32 x 10-10
Q > Ksp therefore the precipitation reaction will occur
Precipitation and Separation of IonsPrecipitation and Separation of Ions
• At any instant in time, Q = [Ba2+][SO42-].
– If Q < Ksp, precipitation occurs until Q = Ksp.
– If Q = Ksp, equilibrium exists.
– If Q > Ksp, solid dissolves until Q = Ksp.
• Based on solubilities, ions can be selectively removed from solutions.
• Consider a mixture of Zn2+(aq) and Cu2+(aq). CuS (Ksp= 610-37) is less soluble than ZnS(Ksp=210-25), CuS will be removed from solution before ZnS.
BaSO4(s) Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
Precipitation and Separation of IonsPrecipitation and Separation of Ions• As H2S is added to the green solution, black CuS
forms in a colorless solution of Zn2+(aq).
• When more H2S is added, a second precipitate of white ZnS forms.
Selective Precipitation of IonsSelective Precipitation of Ions• Ions can be separated from each other based on their
salt solubilities.
• Example: if HCl is added to a solution containing Ag+ and Cu2+, the silver precipitates(Ksp for AgCl is 1.810-10) while the Cu2+ remains in solution, since CuCl2.
• Removal of one metal ion from a solution is called selective precipitation.

• Quantitative analysis is designed to determine how much metal ion is present.
Qualitative Analysis for Metallic ElementsQualitative Analysis for Metallic Elements• We can separate a complicated mixture of ions into
five groups:– Add 6 M HCl to precipitate insoluble chlorides (AgCl,
Hg2Cl2, and PbCl2).
– To the remaining mix of cations, add H2S in 0.2 M HCl to remove acid insoluble sulfides (e.g. CuS, Bi2S3, CdS, PbS, HgS, etc.).
– To the remaining mix, add (NH4)2S at pH 8 to remove base insoluble sulfides and hydroxides (e.g. Al(OH)3, Fe(OH)3, ZnS, NiS, CoS, etc.).
– To the remaining mixture add (NH4)2HPO4 to remove insoluble phosphates (Ba3(PO4)2, Ca3(PO4)2, MgNH4PO4).
– The final mixture contains alkali metal ions and NH4+.
