- A buffer solution is prepared by dissolving 1.50 g each of benzoic acid, C6H5CO2H, and sodium benzoate, NaC6H5CO2, in 150.0 mL of solution. (a) What is the pH of this buffer solution? (b) Which buffer component must be added, and in what quantity, to change the pH to 4.00? (c) What quantity of 2.0 M NaOH or 2.0 M HCl must be added to the buffer to change the pH to 4.00?arrow_forwardA solution made up of 1.0 M NH3 and 0.50 M (NH4)2SO4 has a pH of 9.26. a Write the net ionic equation that represents the reaction of this solution with a strong acid. b Write the net ionic equation that represents the reaction of this solution with a strong base. c To 100. mL of this solution, 10.0 mL of 1.00 M HCl is added. How many moles of NH3 and NH4+ are present in the reaction system before and after the addition of the HCl? What is the pH of the resulting solution? d Why did the pH change only slightly upon the addition of HCl?arrow_forwardMorphine, C17H19O3N, is a weak base (K b =7.4107). Consider its titration with hydrochloric acid. In the titration, 50.0 mL of a 0.1500 M solution of morphine is titrated with 0.1045 M HCl. (a) Write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction that takes place during titration. (b) What are the species present at the equivalence point? (c) What volume of hydrochloric acid is required to reach the equivalence point? (d) What is the pH of the solution before any HCl is added? (e) What is the pH of the solution halfway to the equivalence point? (f) What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?arrow_forward
- Briefly describe how a buffer solution can control the pH of a solution when strong acid is added and when strong base is added. Use NH3/NH4Cl as an example of a buffer and HCl and NaOH as the strong acid and strong base.arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution contains dissolved C6H5NH3Cl and C6H5NH2. The concentration of C6H5NH2 is 0.50 M and pH is 4.20. a. Calculate the concentration of C6H5NH3+ in this buffer solution. b. Calculate the pH after 4.0 g NaOH(s) is added to 1.0 L of this solution. (Neglect any volume change.)arrow_forwardPhenol, C6H5OH, is a weak organic acid. Suppose 0.515 g of the compound is dissolved in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. The resulting solution is titrated with 0.123 M NaOH. C6H5OH(aq) + OH(aq) C6H5O(aq) + H2O() (a) What is the pH of the original solution of phenol? (b) What are the concentrations of all of the following ions at the equivalence point: Na+, H3O+, OH, and C6H5O? (c) What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?arrow_forward
- Ka for formic acid is 1.7 104 at 25C. A buffer is made by mixing 529 mL of 0.465 M formic acid, HCHO2, and 494 mL of 0.524 M sodium formate, NaCHO2. Calculate the pH of this solution at 25C after 110 mL of 0.152 M HCl has been added to this buffer.arrow_forwardChloropropionic acid, ClCH2CH2COOH, is a weak monoprotic acid with Ka = 7.94 105. Calculate the pH at the equivalence point in a titration of 10.00 mL of 0.100 M chloropropionic acid with 0.100 M KOH. Choose an indicator from Table 16.4 for the titration. Explain your choice. TABLE 16.5 Properties of Several Indicatorsarrow_forwarda Draw a pH titration curve that represents the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.10 M NH3 by the addition of 0.10 M HCl from a buret. Label the axes and put a scale on each axis. Show where the equivalence point and the buffer region are on the titration curve. You should do calculations for the 0%, 30%, 50%, and 100% titration points. b Is the solution neutral, acidic, or basic at the equivalence point? Why?arrow_forward
- Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.40 M H2NNH2 and 0.80 M H2NNH3NO3. In order for this buffer to have pH = pKa, would you add HCl or NaOH? What quantity (moles) of which reagent would you add to 1.0 L of the original buffer so that the resulting solution has pH = pKa?arrow_forwardEnough water is added to the buffer in Question 29 to make the total volume 10.0 L. Calculate (a) the pH of the buffer. (b) the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.0500 mol of HCl to 0.600 L of diluted buffer. (c) the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.0500 mol of NaOH to 0.600 L of diluted buffer. (d) Compare your answers to Question 29(a)-(c) with your answers to (a)-(c) in this problem. (e) Comment on the effect of dilution on the pH of a buffer and on its buffer capacity.arrow_forwardA student intends to titrate a solution of a weak monoprotic acid with a sodium hydroxide solution but reverses the two solutions and places the weak acid solution in the buret. After 23.75 mL of the weak acid solution has been added to 50.0 mL of the 0.100 M NaOH solution, the pH of the resulting solution is 10.50. Calculate the original concentration of the solution of weak acid.arrow_forward
