Experiment 11. Buffer pH and Property (Worksheet)

Student name (Print):_______________________

I. Suggestion of Use

(1) This is a dry lab.

(2) Instructors may assign different problems for different students in the same group to work on in the lab.

(3) If preferred, instructors may randomize those numbers in the given problems and then assign to students.

II. Objectives

(1) Identify necessary components for the constitution of a buffer;

(2) Calculate buffer pH using HendersonHasselbalch equation;

(3) Calculate buffer pH after the addition of strong acid/base.

III. Principles, Procedures, and Practices

Buffers are widely used in chemical reaction where solution pH is required to be constant. With the addition of limited amount of acid/base, buffer solution pH does not change significantly.

III.1 Constitution of a buffer

To constitute a buffer, a pair of conjugate weak acid and weak base is required. The conjugate weak acid and the conjugate weak base has a difference of only one H+. For example, HC2H3O (acetic acid) and C2H3O- (acetate) will be t constitute a buffer.

Your instructor will select a problem for you to work on.

(Different problems may be assigned to different students in the same group.)

III.2 Buffer solution pH calculation

For buffer solution pH-related calculation, HendersonHasselbalch equation is often used.

pH=pKa+log[base]ini[acid]ini

However, one must always keep in mind that HendersonHasselbalch equation is good for use only when,

0.1<[base]ini[acid]ini<10

Example: What is the pH of a buffer solution composed of 0.12 M NaNO2 and 0.15 M HNO2 at 25C? It is known Ka for HNO2 is 4.510-4 at 25C.

Solution: HNO2 is a weak acid. The NO2- derived from NaNO2 is a weak base. HNO2 and NO2- are a conjugate pair.

[base]ini=[NO2-]ini=0.12M; [acid]ini=[HNO2]ini=0.15M

pH=pKa+log[base]ini[acid]ini=-log4.510-4+log0.120.15 =3.35+log0.80 = 3.35+(-0.10)=3.25

Attention: Sometimes, mass may be given instead of mole or molarity. In that case, you have to calculate molarity first.

Your instructor will select a problem for you to work on.

(Different problems may be assigned to different students in the same group.)

Question: Calculate the buffer solution pH.

Problem 1

Problem 2

Problem 3

What is the pH of a buffer solution composed of 0.0200 M boric acid and 0.020 M sodium borate at 25 C? Boric acid Ka=5.810-10.

A 500-ml buffer solution contains 15.0 g NH4Cl and 6.15 g 30% (by mass) NH3 solution at 25 C. What is the pH of this buffer? NH4+ Ka=5.810-10. MMNH3=17.03g/mol, MMNH4Cl=53.49g/mol.

What is the pH of a 250-ml buffer containing 0.15 mol NaH2PO4 and 0.22 mol Na2HPO4 at 25 C. Ka for H2PO4- is 6.210-8.

Solution:

III.3 Buffer solution Preparation for a Required pH

Buffer preparation has two common ways: (1) direct mixing conjugate acid and base; and (2) partial neutralization.

Way 1 Direct mixing conjugate acid and base

Way 2- Partial neutralization

Example: It is known nitrous acid (HNO2) pKa = 3.35.

If you intend to use HNO2 and NaNO2 to prepare a buffer solution at pH = 4.00, what is molar ration of NaNO2 and HNO2 should be? To a solution containing 15.0 g HNO2, what mass of NaNO2 you need to add?

Solution:

pH=pKa+log[base]ini[acid]ini

log[base]ini[acid]ini=pH-pKa=4.00-3.35=0.65

Hence, [base]ini[acid]ini=100.65=4.7

[NaNO2]ini[HNO2]ini=4.7

mass of NaNO2mass of HNO2=NaNO2iniHNO2iniMM of NaNO2MM of HNO2

=4.7MM of NaNO2MM of HNO2=4.769.0047.01 = 6.9

mass of NaNO2=mass of NaNO2mass of HNO2mass of HNO2

=6.915.0g=1.0102g

Example: It is known nitrous acid (HNO2) pKa = 3.35.

If you have 200 ml 0.100 M HNO2 solution, what volume of 0.500 M NaOH you need to add in order to have a buffer with pH at 3.00?

Solution:

HNO2aq+NaOHaqNaNO2aq+H2O(l)

With partial neutralization, the solution will include HNO2 and NO2-, which can constitute a buffer.

pH=pKa+log[base]ini[acid]ini

log[base]ini[acid]ini=pH-pKa=3.00-3.35=-0.35

Hence, [base]ini[acid]ini=10-0.35=0.45

[NaNO2]ini[HNO2]ini=mol of NaNO2mole of HNO2=4.7

Assuming x ml of 0.100 M NaOH is required to add.

HNO2aq+NaOHaqNaNO2aq+H2Ol

Based on above chemical equation, moles of NaOH quals to moles of NaNO2 generated.

0.500Mx1000L0.100M2001000L-0.500Mx1000L=4.7

5.0010-4xmol2.0010-2mol-5.0010-4xmol=4.7

x=33.0 ml

Problem 3

It is known H2PO4- pKa=7.20. If you intend to use NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 to make a buffer with a pH at 7.00, to a solution containing 10.0 g NaH2PO4, what mass of Na2HPO4 should be added?

MMNaH2PO4=120.0 g/mol,

MMNa2HPO4=142.0 g/mol.

It is known H2PO4- pKa=7.20. If you have 150 ml 0.150 M NaH2PO4 solution, what volume of 0.200 M NaOH you need to add to make a buffer with pH at 8.00?

NaH2PO4(aq) + NaOH(aq)

Na2HPO4(aq) + H2O(l)

It is known H2PO4- pKa=7.20. If you intend to use NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 to make a buffer with a pH at 7.50, to a solution containing 22.0 g NaH2PO4, what mass of Na2HPO4 should be added?

MMNaH2PO4=120.0 g/mol,

MMNa2HPO4=142.0 g/mol.

Solution:

III.4 Buffer property

Buffer solution can react with both acid and base to keep pH relative stable, while water does not have this property.

Adding strong acid to pure water

Example: Pure water pH=7.00 at 25 C. If 1.00 ml 0.100 M HCl is added into 100 ml pure water, what is the pH?

Solution: HCl is a strong acid. It 100% ionize after being added into water.

HCl moles=1.001000L0.100M=1.0010-4mol

H+=HCl moles1001000L=1.0010-4mol0.100L=1.0010-3M

pH=-log1.0010-3=3.00

Adding strong base to pure water

Example: Pure water pH=7.00 at 25 C. If 1.00 ml 0.100 M NaOH is added into 100 ml pure water, what is the pH?

Solution: NaOH is a strong acid. It 100% ionize after being added into water.

NaOH moles=1.001000L0.100M=1.0010-4mol

OH-=NaOH moles1001000L=1.0010-4mol0.100L=1.0010-3M

pOH=-log1.0010-3=3.00

pH=14.00-pOH=14.00-3.00=11.00

Adding strong acid into buffer

Example: A 100-ml buffer solution containing 0.100 M HNO2 and 0.100 M NaNO2. What is the pH before and after adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M HCl? HNO2 pKa = 3.35.

Solution:

Before adding HCl

pH=pKa+log[base]ini[acid]ini=3.35+log0.100M 0.100M =3.35

After adding HCl

HCl moles=1.001000L0.100M=1.0010-4mol

NO2-aq+HClaqHNO2aq+Cl-(aq)

Reaction between NO2- and HCl is 1:1 molar ratio reaction.

Moles of HCl reacted equal to moles of NO2- consumed and moles of HNO2 generated.

NO2- original moles=1001000L0.100M=1.0010-2mol

NO2- remaining moles=NO2- original moles-HCl moles

=1.0010-2mol-1.0010-4mol=9.910-3mol

HNO2 original moles=1001000L0.100M=1.0010-2mol

HNO2 remaining moles=HNO2 original moles+HCl moles

=1.0010-2mol+1.0010-4mol=1.0110-2mol

pH=pKa+log[base]ini[acid]ini=3.35+log9.910-3mol 1.0110-2mol =3.35-0.0087=3.34

Adding strong base into buffer

Example: A 100-ml buffer solution containing 0.100 M HNO2 and 0.100 M NaNO2. What is the pH after adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M NaOH? HNO2 pKa = 3.35.

Solution: NaOH moles=1.001000L0.100M=1.0010-4mol

HNO2aq+NaOHaqNaNO2aq+H2O(aq)

Reaction between HNO2 and NaOH is 1:1 molar ratio reaction.

Moles of NaOH reacted equal to moles of HNO2 consumed and moles of NO2- generated.

HNO2 original moles=1001000L0.100M=1.0010-2mol

HNO2 remaining moles=HNO2 original moles-NaOH moles

=1.0010-2mol-1.0010-4mol=9.910-3mol

NO2- original moles=1001000L0.100M=1.0010-2mol

NO2- remaining moles=NO2- original moles+NaOH moles

=1.0010-2mol+1.0010-4mol=1.010-2mol

pH=pKa+log[base]ini[acid]ini=3.35+log1.0110-2mol9.910-3mol =3.35+0.0087=3.36

Summary

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M HCl into 100ml water results a pH change from 7.00 to 3.00. (DpH = -4.00)

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M NaOH into 100ml water results a pH change from 7.00 to 11.00. (DpH = +4.00)

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M HCl into 100ml buffer results a pH change from 3.35 to 3.34. (DpH = -0.01)

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M NaOH into 100ml water results a pH change from 3.35 to 3.36. (DpH = +0.01)

Attention:

If too much acid/base is added resulting in [base]ini/[acid]ini <0.1 or >10, one cant use HendersonHasselbalch equation to calculate buffer pH any more. Instead, common ion effect with I.C.E. table should be used for pH calculation.
