BASIC BUFFER SOLUTION
Basic Buffer Solution
(Weak base + conjugate acid)
|
|
Preparation
|
By adding a weak base to a
salt which contains its conjugate acid.
|
Example
|
NH3 and NH4Cl
|
Reaction
|
(C.A):
NH4Cl → NH4+ + Cl-
|

|
Addition of a small amount of strong acid
|
When a small amount of acid is added (H+),
NH3(aq) + H+(aq)
→NH4+(aq)
Acid (H+) form
strong acid reacts with NH3to
form NH4+.
Acid added is consumed.
Concentration of [NH4+]
increase, but concentrations of [NH3]
decrease.
As a result, pH of the
solution is not much affected.

Addition of a small amount of strong acid
|
When a small amount of base is added (OH-),
OH-(aq) + NH4+
(aq) →NH3 (aq) + H2O(l)
Base (OH-) form
strong base reacts with NH4+
to form NH3
Base added is consumed.
Concentration of [NH3] increase, but
concentrations of [NH4+]
decrease.
As a result, pH of the
solution is not much affected.

NOTE: The pH of a buffer solution can always be maintained
no matter a strong acid or a strong base is added
|
|
Acidic Buffer solution
Definition: Buffer solution is a solution which has the ability to maintain its pH when
a small amount of strong acid or strong
base is added.
Two types of buffer solution
i)
Acidic Buffer – contains weak
acid and its conjugate base (pH < 7)
ii) Basic Buffer – contains weak base and
its conjugate acid (pH > 7)
Acidic Buffer Solution
(Weak acid + conjugate base)
|
|
Preparation
|
By adding a weak acid to a
salt which contains its conjugate base.
|
Example
|
CH3COOH and
CH3COONa
|
Reaction
|
(C.B) :
CH3COONa(aq) → CH3COO-(aq) +
Na+(aq)
|

|
pH = pKa +

|
Addition of a small amount of strong acid
|
When a small amount of acid is added (H+),
H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq) → CH3COOH(aq)
Acid (H+) form
strong acid reacts with CH3COO- to form CH3COOH.
Acid added is consumed.
Concentration of [CH3COOH]
increase, but concentrations of [CH3COO-] decrease.
As a result, pH of the
solution is not much affected.
|
Addition of a small amount of strong acid
|
When a small amount of base is added (OH-),
OH-(aq) + CH3COOH (aq) →CH3COO-
(aq) + H2O(l)
Base (OH-) form
strong base reacts with CH3COOH to form CH3COO-.
Base added is consumed.
Concentration of [CH3COO-]
increase, but concentrations of [CH3COOH] decrease.
As a result, pH of the
solution is not much affected.
|
NOTE: The pH of a buffer solution can always be
maintained no matter a strong acid or a strong base is added

Calculate pH for weak acid.

►►►Hint:
Step 1 : Weak base dissociation equation
RNH2(aq) + H2O(l) →⟶ RNH3+(aq) + OH‐(aq)
Step 2 : Derive the dissociation constant
Step 3: Write ICE table
Step 3 : Solve to find [OH-]. Include any assumptions made
An amine, RNH2 is a weak base with a dissociation constant, Kb of 1.8 x 10-5. It was dissolved in water to form a dilute solution.
a) Write the dissociation equation for the base.
b) Calculate the pH of a 0.4 M aqueous solution of the amine.

Step 3 : Solve to find [OH-]. Include any assumptions made
1.8 x 10-5 = (x)(x)
(0.4-x)
Checking = √Kb x 100 < 5%
[ ]i
Kb << 1, thus 0.4-x = 0.4
1.8 x 10-4 = (x)(x)
(0.4)
x = 2.68 x 10‐3M
[x] =[ OH-] = 2.68

Step 4 : Find the pH
pOH = ‐log [OH‐] = 2.57
pH = 14 ‐ pOH
= 11.43

Guidelines for calculating pH of strong acid and strong base
Strong acid: Acid that completely
ionised to form H+ or H3O+ ions. Example HCl, H2SO4
Strong base: Base theat completely
ionised to form OH- ions. Example KOH, Mg(OH)2

Le Chatellier's Principle
Concept of excercise reaction:
The reaction between NO
and O2 is exothermic:
→ 2NO (g)
+ O2 (g) NO2 (g)
State the effects on
equilibrium
- O2 is added
- NO2 is taken out
- The temperature is increase
- The total pressure is decreased
- Neon gas is added at constant volume
- Argon gas is added at constant pressure
Answer:
1.
When
O2 gas is added
·
Equilibrium
position shift to the right in order to reduce the added O2 gas
·
As
a result, concentration of NO2 gas increase
·
Concentration
of NO and O2 gas is decrease
2.
When
NO2 is taken out
·
Equilibrium
position shift to the right in order to increase NO2 gas
·
As
a result, concentration of NO2 gas increase
·
Concentration
of NO and O2 gas is decrease
3.
The
temperature is increased
·
Equilibrium
position shift to the left in order to reduce the increase in temperature
·
As
a result, concentration of NO2 gas decrease
·
Concentration
of NO and O2 gas is increase
4. The total pressure is decreased
·
Equilibrium
position shift to the left (higher number of mole) in order to increase in
pressure
·
As
a result, concentration of NO2 gas decrease
·
Concentration
of NO and O2 gas is increase
5. Neon gas is added at constant volume
·
Partial pressure of
each reacting gas remains constant
·
Equilibbrium position
remain unchange
6. Argon gas is added at constant pressure
·
Partial pressure of
each reacting gasses decrease
·
System will respond by
increasing pressure
·
Equilibrium position
shifts to the side with higher number of moles
·
So equilibrium position
shift to the left
·
As
a result, concentration of NO2 gas decrease
·
Concentration
of NO and O2 gas is increase
