Buffers
• What is a Buffer?– A Solution made of a weak acid and salt of weak
acid ( ion is the acid’s conjugate base) or weak base and salt of weak base ( ion is the base’s conjugate acid)
• What are the advantages of having a Buffer?– Solution will not significantly change in pH when
an acid or base are added.
ExampleHCN(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + CN-(aq) weak acid
• Addition of NaCN (salt contain ion that is the conjucate base, CN-) will shift the equilibrium to the left because of the addition of CN-, which is already involved in the equilibrium reaction.
• A solution of HCN and NaCN is less acidic than a solution of HCN alone and is a buffer solution

Buffers demonstrate theCommon Ion Effect
• Shift in equilibrium position that occurs because of the addition of an ion already involved in the equilibrium reaction.
• The salt dissociates to produce an ion that is the same as the ion that is a product in the weak acid reaction with water
• An application of Le Châtelier’s principle.
Identifying a Buffer
1. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction or solution
2. Look for a weak acid and conjugate base ion or weak base and conjugate acid ion
3. At equilibrium is there a concentration for the reactant( Weak Acid or Weak base) and product ( conjugate base or acid)

Problem 1
Buffered Solution Calculations
• Buffers contain relatively large concentrations of a weak acid and corresponding conjugate base.
Added H+ reacts to completion with the weak base.[H3O+] = Ka x [acid]+[H+ ]/[base] – [H+ ]
Added OH- reacts to completion with the weak acid.
[H3O+] = Ka x [acid]-[OH- ]/[base] + [OH- ]

• The amount of protons or hydroxide ions the buffer can absorb without a significant change in pH.
• Determined by the magnitudes of [HA] and [A–].• A buffer with large capacity contains large
concentrations of the buffering components.• Optimal buffering occurs when [HA] is equal to [A–].• It is for this condition that the ratio [A–] / [HA] is
most resistant to change when H+ or OH– is added to the buffered solution.

Buffering Capacity
Choosing a Buffer
• pKa of the weak acid to be used in the buffer should be as close as possible to the desired pH.

Titration
• Laboratory procedure used to determine the concentration of a solution or molar mass of a unknown substance by reacting unknown with known concentration of a solution
• Can only be used if the stoichiometric endpoint can be monitored (color change, conductivity or pH graph)
• Plotting the pH of the solution being analyzed as a function of the amount of titrant added.
• Equivalence (Stoichiometric) Point – point in the titration when enough titrant has been added to react exactly with the substance in solution being titrated.
• Endpoint is point of color change with indicator

Strong Acid/Strong Base Titration
Features:1. Low initial pH. (Excess Acid)2. Very little change until endpoint 3. Sharp rise in pH at endpoint
(neutral salt)4. High pH after endpoint (Excess Base)
Strong Acid/Strong Base Titration
A stoichiometry problem (reaction is assumed to run to completion) then determine concentration of acid or base remaining. The
salt formed is neutral. HCl + NaOH H2O + NaCl
I CEWork in Moles! Then calculate concentration (Molarity)!
You will need this for pH.

Weak Acid /Strong Base
Features:1. Higher initial pH (Weak Acid)2. As base is added the pH climbs slightly
(Buffering)3. Equivalence point is greater than 7.0 (basic salt)4. pH rises rapidly after equivalence point (Excess base)5. pH = pKa ½ distance to equivalence point
Weak Acid–Strong Base Titration
Step 1: A stoichiometry problem (reaction is assumed to run to completion) then
determine concentration of acid remaining, conjugate base formed, or excess base added.
At the end you will have : weak acid, buffer, salt or, excess base
Step 2: An equilibrium problem is next if you have weak acid, buffer, or a salt.
Determine Molarity of Hydronium ions or hydroxide ions and then calculate pH

Problem 3
• Weak acids or bases that change color when equilibrium shifts
• Marks the end point of a titration by changing color.• The equivalence point is not necessarily the same as
the end point (but they are ideally as close as possible).
• Choose a indicator that has a pKa close to pH at the endpoint in the titration.

Given a solution of ammonium chloride. What additional reagent or reagents are needed to prepare a buffer from the ammonium chloride solution?Explain how this buffer solution resists a change in pH when:(a) Moderate amounts of strong acid are added.(b) Moderate amounts of strong base are added.(c) A portion of the buffer solution is diluted with an equal volume of water.
• Answer:• Since ammonium chloride is a salt of a weak base, the weak base is needed,
ammonia, NH3.• (a) When moderate amounts of a strong acid, H+, are added, the ammonia
reacts with it. The concentration of the hydrogen ion remains essentially the same and therefore only a very small change in pH.
• NH3 + H+ <=> NH4+
• (b) When moderate amounts of a strong base, OH-, are added, the ammonium ion reacts with it. The concentration of the hydrogen ion remains essentially the same and therefore only a very small change in pH.
• NH4+ + OH- <=> NH3 + H2O
• (c) By diluting with water the relative concentration ratio of [NH4+]/[NH3]
does not change, therefore there should be no change in pH.•
Free Response 2A sample of 40.0 milliliters of a 0.100 molar HC2H3O2 solution is titrated with a 0.150 molar NaOH solution. Ka for acetic acid = 1.8x10-5
(a) What volume of NaOH is used in the titration in order to reach the equivalence point?(b) What is the molar concentration of C2H3O2
- at the equivalence point?(c) What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?
Answer:(a) MaVa=MbVb
(0.100M)(40.0 mL) = (0.150M)(Vb)
Vb = 26.7 mL
(b) acetate ion is a weak base withKb=Kw/Ka = 1.010-14/1.810-5 = 5.610-10
[CH3COO-]eq = 0.600M -X
[OH-] = [CH3COOH] = X
0.0600M-9.6610-5M = 0.0599M [CH3COO-]eq
(c) pH = -log [H+] = -log(1.0410-10) = 9.98
