What is meant by the capacity of a buffer? Describe a buffer with low capacity and the same buffer with greater capacity.
Consider the weak acids in Table 13.2. Which acid-base pair would be best for a buffer at a pH of (a) 3.0(b) 6.5 (c) 12.0
Each symbol in the box below represents a mole of a component in one liter of a buffer solution; represents the anion (X-), = the weak acid (HX), = H+, and =OH. Water molecules and the few H+ and OH- ions from the dissociation of HX and X- are not shown. The box contains 10 mol of a weak acid, , in a liter of solution. Show what happens upon (a) the addition of 2 mol of OH- (2 ). (b) the addition of 5 mol of OH- (5 ). (c) the addition of 10 mol of OH- (10 ). (d) the addition of 12 mol of OH- (12 ). Which addition (a)-(d) represents neutralization halfway to the equivalence point?
Explain why even though an aqueous acetic acid solution contains acetic acid and acetate ions, it cannot be a buffer.
Two samples of 1.00 M HCl of equivalent volumes are prepared. One sample is titrated to the equivalence point with a 1.00 M solution of sodium hydroxide, while the other sample is titrated to the equivalence point with a 1.00 M solution of calcium hydroxide. a Compare the volumes of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide required to reach the equivalence point for each titration. b Determine the pH of each solution halfway to the equivalence point. c Determine the pH of each solution at the equivalence point.
A solution of weak base is titrated to the equivalence point with a strong acid. Which one of the following statements is most likely to be correct? a The pH of the solution at the equivalence point is 7.0. b The pH of the solution is greater than 13.0. c The pH of the solution is less than 2.0. d The pH of the solution is between 2.0 and 7.0. e The pH of the solution is between 7.0 and 13.0. The reason that best supports my choosing the answer above is a Whenever a solution is titrated with a strong acid, the solution will be very acidic. b Because the solution contains a weak base and the acid (titrant) is used up at the equivalence point, the solution will be basic. c Because the solution contains the conjugate acid of the weak base at the equivalence point, the solution will be acidic.
A quantity of 0.25 M sodium hydroxide is added to a solution containing 0.15 mol of acetic acid. The final volume of the solution is 375 mL and the pH of this solution is 4.45. a What is the molar concentration of the sodium acetate? b How many milliliters of sodium hydroxide were added to the original solution? c What was the original concentration of the acetic acid?
A buffer solution is prepared by adding 0.125 mol ammonium chloride to 500. mL of 0.500-M aqueous ammonia. Calculate the pH of the buffer. If 0.0100 mol HCl gas is bubbled into 500. mL buffer and all of the gas dissolves, calculate the new pH of the solution.
A 0.239-g sample of unknown organic base is dissolved in water and titrated with a 0.135 M hydrochloric acid solution. After the addition of 18.35 mL of acid, a pH of 10.73 is recorded. The equivalence point is reached when a total of 39.24 mL of HCl is added. The base and acid combine in a 1:1 ratio. a What is the molar mass of the organic base? b What is the Kb value for the base? The Kb value could have been determined very easily if a pH measurement had been made after the addition of 19.62 mL of HCl. Why?
A buffer solution that is 0.100 M acetate ion and 0.100 M acetic acid is prepared. (a) Calculate the initial pH, final pH, and change in pH when 1.00 mL of 1.00 M NaOH is added to 100.0 mL of the buffer. (b) Calculate the initial pH, final pH, and change in pH when 1.00 mL of 1.00 M NaOH is added to 100.0 mL pure (pH 7.00) water.
