Chapter 17, Problem 17.13QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of the given buffer solution before and after the addition of NaOH has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

  • pH is the logarithm of the reciprocal of the concentration  of H3O+  in a solution.
  •  pH is used to determine the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.
  • pH=-log[H3O+]
  • Buffer solution is defined as a solution that oppose changes in pH while adding little amount of either an acid or a base. In general, addition of acid or base does not affect the pH in buffer solution but if it is more than amount of conjugate base or conjugate acid, then buffer loses its buffering capacity.
  • Buffer solution is a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

To calculate: the pH of buffer solution acetic acid and sodium acetate on addition of NaOH

Answer to Problem 17.13QP

The pH of buffer solution before addition of NaOH is 3.261

The pH of buffer solution after addition of NaOH is 3.329_

Explanation of Solution

The given concentrations of CH3NH2 and CH3NH3Cl are 1.00M

The number of moles of NaOH is 0.070

ThepHofCH3NH2andCH3NH3ClbuffersystemisequaltopKapH=pKa=-logKaTheKavalueforacetic acidis4.4×10-4=-log(4.4×10-4)=3.357

According to the pkaandpkb formula is,

  pka+pkb=14pkb=14pkapkb=143.357=10.643

The addition of 0.070mol sodium hydroxide, the NaOH react with CH3NH3Cl and concentration of CH3NH3Cl decrease and concentration of base will increase.  

  [CH3NH3Cl]=1.000.070=0.930M[CH3NH2]=0.80+0.070=0.870MpOH=10.643+log0.9300.80pOH=10.643+log(1.0689)pOH=10.643+0.028pOH=10.671pH=14-pOHpH=1410.671pH=3.329

Answer to Problem 17.13QP

The pH of buffer solution before addition of HCl is 3.261

The pH of buffer solution after addition of HCl is 3.151_
