3. ACIDS-BASE REACTIONS
For any acid-base reaction where only one hydrogen ion is transferred, the equilibrium constant for the reaction can be calculated and is often called Knet.
For the general reaction:
Knet is always Ka (reactant acid) / Ka (product acid)
When Knet >> 1, products are favored.
When Knet << 1, reactants are favored.
See 16.5 for manipulating K

4. ACIDS-BASE REACTIONS
There are four classifications or types of reactions: strong acid with strong base, strong acid with weak base, weak acid with strong base, and weak acid with weak base.
NOTE: For all four reaction types the limiting reactant problem is carried out first. Once this is accomplished, one must determine which reactants and products remain and write an appropriate equilibrium equation for the remaining mixture.

5. STRONG ACID WITH STRONG BASE
The net reaction is:
The product, water, is neutral.

6. STRONG ACID WITH WEAK BASE
The net reaction is:
The product is HB+ and the solution is acidic.

7. WEAK ACID WITH STRONG BASE
The net reaction is:
The product is A- and the solution is basic.

8. WEAK ACID WITH WEAK BASE
The net reaction is:
Notice that Knet may even be less than one.
This will occur when Ka HB+ > Ka HA.

9. HBz + NaOH ---> Na+ + Bz- + H2O
Acid-Base Reactions
QUESTION: You titrate 100. mL of a M solution of benzoic acid with M NaOH to the equivalence point (mol HBz = mol NaOH). What is the pH of the final solution? Note: HBz and NaOH are used up!
HBz + NaOH ---> Na+ + Bz- + H2O
Ka = 6.3 × 10-5
Kb = 1.6 × 10-10
C6H5CO2H = HBz
Benzoate ion = Bz-

10. Acid-Base Reactions
The product of the titration of benzoic acid, the benzoate ion, Bz-, is the conjugate base of a weak acid.
The final solution is basic.
Bz- + H2O HBz + OH- +
Kb = 1.6 x 10-10

11. Acid-Base Reactions
QUESTION: You titrate 100. mL of a M solution of benzoic acid with M NaOH to the equivalence point. What is the pH of the final solution?
Strategy — find the concentration of the conjugate base Bz- in the solution AFTER the titration, then calculate pH.
This is a two-step problem:
1st. stoichiometry of acid-base reaction
2nd. equilibrium calculation

12. STOICHIOMETRY PORTION
Acid-Base Reactions
QUESTION: You titrate 100. mL of a M solution of benzoic acid with M NaOH to the equivalence point. What is the pH of the final solution?
STOICHIOMETRY PORTION
1. Calculate moles of NaOH required.
(0.100 L HBz)(0.025 M) = mol HBz
This requires mol NaOH
2. Calculate volume of NaOH required.
mol (1 L / mol) = L
25 mL of NaOH required

3. Moles of Bz- produced = moles HBz = mol Bz-
4. Calculate concentration of Bz-.
There are mol of Bz- in a TOTAL SOLUTION VOLUME of 125 mL
[Bz-] = mol / L = M

14. HBz + NaOH ---> Na+ + Bz- + H2O
Acid-Base Reactions

17. Acid-Base Reactions
QUESTION: You titrate 100. mL of a M solution of benzoic acid with M NaOH What is the pH at the half-way point?
HBz + H2O H3O+ + Bz Ka = 6.3 x 10-5
[H3O+] = { [HBz] / [Bz-] } Ka
At the half-way point, [HBz] = [Bz-], so
[H3O+] = Ka = 6.3 x 10-5
pH = 4.20

18. The Common Ion Effect LEFT Closer to 018
The Common Ion Effect
QUESTION: What is the effect on the pH of adding NH4Cl to 0.25 M NH3(aq)?
NH3(aq) + H2O NH4+(aq) OH-(aq)
Here we are adding an ion COMMON to the equilibrium.
Le Chatelier predicts that the equilibrium will shift to the ____________.
LEFT
Closer to 0
The pH will go _______.
After all, NH4+ is an acid!

19. The Common Ion Effect
QUESTION: What is the effect on the pH of adding NH4Cl to 0.25 M NH3(aq)?

This gives pOH = 2.67 and so - - -
pH = = for 0.25 M NH3

21. The Common Ion Effect
QUESTION: What is the effect on the pH of adding NH4Cl to 0.25 M NH3(aq)?
NH3(aq) + H2O NH4+(aq) OH-(aq)
We expect that the pH will decline on adding NH4Cl. Let’s test that at 0.10M !

x(0.10 x)
0.25 x
Because equilibrium shifts left, x is MUCH less than M, the value without NH4Cl.
[OH-] = x = (0.25 / 0.10)Kb = 4.5 x 10-5 M
This gives pOH = 4.35 and pH = 9.65
pH drops from to 9.65 on adding a common ion.

23. Buffer Solutions HCl is added to pure water.
HCl is added to a solution of a weak acid H2PO4- and its conjugate base HPO42-.

24. Buffer Solutions
The function of a buffer is to resist changes in the pH of a solution.
Buffers are just a special case of the common ion effect.
Buffer Composition
Weak Acid + Conj. Base
HC2H3O2 + C2H3O2-
H2PO HPO42-
Weak Base + Conj. Acid
NH NH4+

25. Buffer Solutions Consider HOAc/OAc- to see how buffers work.
ACID USES UP ADDED OH-.
We know that OAc- + H2O HOAc + OH- has Kb = 5.6 x 10-10
Therefore, the reverse reaction of the WEAK ACID with added OH- has Kreverse = 1/ Kb = 1.8 x 109
Kreverse is VERY LARGE, so HOAc completely uses up the OH- !!!!

26. Buffer Solutions Consider HOAc/OAc- to see how buffers work.
CONJUGATE BASE USES UP ADDED H+ HOAc + H2O OAc- + H3O+ has Ka = 1.8 x 10-5.
Therefore, the reverse reaction of the WEAK BASE with added H+has Kreverse = 1/ Ka = 5.6 x 104
Kreverse is VERY LARGE, so OAc- completely uses up the H+ !

27. Buffer Solutions
Problem: What is the pH of a buffer that has [HOAc] = M and [OAc-] = M?

Assuming that x << and 0.600, we have K a =

[H3O+] = 2.1 x 10-5 and pH = 4.68

29. Buffer Solutions
Notice that the expression for calculating the H+ concentration of the buffer is [ H 3 O + ] =
Orig. conc. of HOAc
Orig. conc. of OAc - • K a
This leads to a general equation for finding the H+ or OH- concentration of a buffer. [ H 3 O + ] =
[Acid]
[Conj. base] • K a [ OH - ] =
[Base]
[Conj. acid] • K b
Notice that the H+ or OH- concentrations depend on K and the ratio of acid and base concentrations.

30. Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation[ H 3 O + ] =
[Acid]
[Conj. base] • K a
Take the negative log of both sides of this equation pH = pK a -

This is called the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

31. Henderson-Hasselbalch EquationpH = pK a +

This shows that the pH is determined largely by the pKa of the acid and then adjusted by the ratio of acid and conjugate base.

32. Adding an Acid to a Buffer
Problem: What is the new pH when mL of 1.00 M HCl is added to:
a) L of pure water (before HCl, pH = 7.00)
b) L of buffer that has [HOAc] = M and [OAc-] = M (pH = 4.68)
Solution to Part (a)
Calculate [HCl] after adding 1.00 mL of HCl to 1.00 L of water
M1 • V1 = M2 • V2
M2 = 1.00 x 10-3 M
pH = 3.00

33. Adding an Acid to a Buffer
What is the pH when 1.00 mL of 1.00 M HCl is added to:
a) 1.00 L of pure water (after HCl, pH = 3.00)
b) 1.00 L of buffer that has [HOAc] = M and [OAc-] = M (pH = 4.68)
Solution to Part (b)
Step 1 — do the stoichiometry
H3O+ (from HCl) + OAc- (from buffer) ---> HOAc (from buffer)
The reaction occurs completely because K is very large.

34. Adding an Acid to a Buffer

0.599 ( 1 . 8
x 10 -5 )
[H3O+] = 2.1 x 10-5 M > pH = 4.68
The pH has not changed significantly upon adding HCl to the buffer!

38. Preparing a Buffer You want to buffer a solution at pH = 4.30.
This means [H3O+] = 10-pH = 5.0 x 10-5 M
It is best to choose an acid such that [H3O+] is about equal to Ka (or pH ­ pKa).
You get the exact [H3O+] by adjusting the ratio of acid to conjugate base.

39. Preparing a Buffer Solution

CO32- conjugate base

40. Preparing a Buffer
You want to buffer a solution at pH = 4.30 or [H3O+] = 5.0 x 10-5 M
POSSIBLE ACIDS Ka
HSO4- / SO x 10-2
HOAc / OAc x 10-5
HCN / CN x 10-10
Best choice is acetic acid / acetate.

41. Preparing a Buffer You want to buffer a solution at pH = 4.30 or
[H3O+] = 5.0 x 10-5 M [ H 3 O + ] =
5.0 x 10 -5
[HOAc]
[OAc -
(1.8 x 10 )
Solve for [HOAc]/[OAc-] ratio = 2.78/ 1
Therefore, if you use mol of NaOAc and mol of HOAc, you will have pH = 4.30.

42. Preparing a Buffer A final point —
CONCENTRATION of the acid and conjugate base are not important.
It is the RATIO OF THE NUMBER OF MOLES of each.
This simplifying approximation will be correct for all buffers with 3<pH<11, since the [H]+ will be small compared to the acid and conjugate base.
