Study Notes

Ammonia and Acetate Buffers

  • Ammonia/ammonium buffer can be created by mixing 1 M NH3 with half as much 1 M HCl, or by mixing equal volumes of 1 M NH3 and 1 M NH4Cl.
  • To prepare an acetate buffer at pH 6.24, mix 262.5 mL of 2.79 M KOH with 925 mL of 0.818 M acetic acid, using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for calculations.

Buffer Resistance to pH Change

  • A buffer resists pH changes when a strong acid is added, as the acid reacts with the weak base in the buffer, generating a weak acid and minimizing H⁺ ion concentration.

Buffer Selection

  • Acetic acid (Ka = 1.8 × 10^-5) is a suitable buffer at pH 4.7, with its pKa calculated to be approximately 4.744, indicating its effectiveness within a pH range of 3.744 to 5.744.

pH Calculation in Buffer Solutions

  • For a buffer with 0.110 M weak acid and 0.510 M conjugate base, the pH is approximately 4.8.
  • Determine pH changes when subjected to HCl or NaOH in a buffer solution; adding 7.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl changes pH by -0.06, while adding 7.00 mL of 0.100 M NaOH results in a +0.06 change.

Titration Curves

  • Various titration curves indicate that before adding HCl to NH3 solution, pH > 7, after adding 24.5 mL, pH < 7, and after 39.5 mL, pH remains < 7.

Titration Outcomes

  • In the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.200 M HClO with 0.200 M KOH:
    • pH before KOH addition is 4.11,
    • after 25.0 mL, pH rises to 7.52,
    • after 40.0 mL, it reaches 8.12,
    • at 50.0 mL, it is 10.26,
    • and after adding 60.0 mL, it climbs to 12.26.

Lewis Acids and Bases

  • Lewis acids include SO3, CO^3+, BeCl2; Lewis bases include S^2-, OF2.
  • Identifying Lewis acids and bases in reactions is crucial for understanding chemical interactions.

Solubility Product (Ksp)

  • Ksp expressions based on molar solubility x are as follows:
    • AB: Ksp = x²
    • AB2: Ksp = 4x³
    • AB3: Ksp = 27x⁴
    • A3B2: Ksp = 108x⁵.

Specific Ksp Calculations

  • For the salt AB2, Ksp = 1.05 × 10^-3, calculated using molar solubility.
  • The Ksp for PbBr2, given as 6.60 × 10^-6, leads to different molar solubilities when conditioned with KBr or Pb(NO3)2.

Ksp Determination from pH

  • For M(OH)2 at pH 10.32, the Ksp is 4.54 × 10^-12, calculated from the relationship between hydroxide ion concentration and the solubility of the metal ion.
