Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The acidthat can be used to preparea buffersolution with apH value of 6.5 is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The pH of a solution is calculated by using the Henderson–HasselBalch equation, which is given as follows:

pH=pKa+log[conjugate base][acid]

Here, [acid] and [conjugate base] are the concentrations ofthe acid and the conjugate base.

Answer to Problem 1KSP

Correct answer:Option (e).

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option:

The term log[conjugate base][acid] in the expression for the value ofpHlieswithin the range of 1 to +1.

Therefore, the pH of the solution formed from the given acid is given by the expression as follows:

pH=pKa±1

Forhydrochloric acid,

The acid ionization constant of hydrofluoric acid is 7.1×104.

The value of pKa for hydrofluoric acid is calculated as follows:

pKa=log[7.1×104]=3.15

The pH of the buffer solution formed from hydrofluoric acid is calculated as follows:

pH=pKa±1=3.15±1=4.15(or)2.15

Forbenzoic acid,

The acid ionization constant of benzoic acid is 6.5×105.

The value of pKa forbenzoic acid is calculated as follows:

pKa=log[6.5×105]=4.19

The pH of the buffer solution formed from benzoic acid is calculated as follows:

pH=pKa±1=4.19±1=5.19(or)3.19

For hydrocyanic acid,

The acid ionization constant of hydrocyanic acid is 4.9×1010.

The value of pKa forhydrocyanic acid is calculated as follows:

pKa=log[4.9×1010]=9.30

The pH of the buffer solution formed from hydrocyanic acid is calculated as follows:

pH=pKa±1=9.30±1=10.30(or)8.30

For phenol,

The acid ionization constant of phenol is 1.3×1010.

The value of pKa forphenol is calculated as follows:

pKa=log[1.3×1010]=9.89

The pH of the buffer solution formed from phenol is calculated as follows:

pH=pKa±1=9.89±1=10.89(or)8.89

Therefore, a buffer solution with apH value of 6.5 is not obtained from the given acids.

Hence, option (e) is correct.

Reason for incorrect option:

Option (a) is incorrect because, according to above explanation, a buffer solution with a pH value between 2.15 and 4.15 can be prepared from hydrofluoric acid. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (b) is incorrect because, according to above explanation, a buffer solution with a pH value between 3.19 and 5.19 can be prepared from benzoic acid. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (c) is incorrect because, according to above explanation, a buffer solution with a pH value between 8.30 and 10.30 can be prepared from hydrocyanic acid. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (d) is incorrect because, according to above explanation, a buffer solution with a pH value between 10.89 and 8.89 can be prepared from phenol. So, it is an incorrect option.

Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect.
