Chapter 11, Problem 11.16P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Value of pH when [H2A] equals to [HA] has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The equation for buffer is described by Henderson-Hasselbach equation and it is a rearranged for of equilibrium constant, Ka. Consider an equation of dissociation of an acid as follows:

  HAH++A

Formula to calculate pH is as follows:

  pH=pKa+log([A][HA])

Here,

pKa is acid dissociation constant of weak acid HA.

[A] is concentration of conjugate base A

[HA] is concentration of acid HA.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Value of pH when [A2] equals to [HA] has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among H2AHA or A2 principal species at pH equals to 2 has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among H2AHA or A2 principal species at pH equals to 6 has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among H2AHA or A2 principal species at pH equals to 10 has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
