Buffers ⇒ Solutions that can resist change in pH

Composed of a weak acid and it’s conjugate base

3 ways to make a buffer:

1. Mix a weak acid and it’s conjugate base

2. Mix a limiting amount of strong base with a weak acid

3. Mix a limiting amount of strong acid with a weak base

pH = pKa + log or pH = pKa + log

Applications of Aqueous Equilibria– ch. 8 3 possible scenarios when titrating a weak acid with a strong base or

titrating a weak base with a strong acid

1. Buffer ⇒ nweak > nstrong

use pH = pKa + log

2. Equivalence point ⇒ nweak = nstrong

pH only depends on the conjugate of the weak acid or weak base

use Ka = or Kb =

to solve for unknown

3. Beyond the equivalence point ⇒ nweak < nstrong

pH depends on the [xs strong acid] or [xs strong base]

Answer Key – ch. 88. How would you prepare 1.0 L of a buffer at pH = 9.0 from 1.0 M

HCN (Ka = 6.2 x 10-10) and 1.5 M NaCN?

The total volume of the buffer has to be 1.0 L => so if we designate X as the volume of HCN then the volume of NaCN must be 1-X => so the moles of HCN are (1.0 M)(X L) = X moles and the moles of NaCN are (1.5 M)(1-X) = 1.5-1.5X moles => now we can plug these into pH = pKa + log

9.0 = -log(6.2 x 10-10)+log => X=0.71

Therefore the buffer is made by mixing 0.71 L of 1.0M HCN with 0.29 L of 1.5M NaCN

the solution is unsaturated and there will be no noticeable change

We can use M1V1 = M2V2 to get the new concentrations

[Ba2+] = (1 x 10–5 M)(200 mL)/(550 mL) = 3.64 x 10–6 M

[CrO42–]= (3 x 10-5 M)(350 mL)/(550 mL) = 1.91 x 10 -5 M

[Ba2+][CrO42–] = (3.64 x 10–6 M )(1.91 x 10 -5 M )= 6.95 x 10 – 11

the solution is unsaturated and no precipitate will form
