    Study Notes

    Buffer Capacity

    • Buffer capacity measures the amount of acid or base added to a buffer without diminishing its effectiveness.

    Buffer Solution Composition

    • A buffer requires conjugate acid-base pairs in solution. None of the listed pairs (NaI/HI, KBr/HBr, RbCl/HCl, CsF/HF) create effective buffers.

    Impact of Adding HCl

    • Upon adding HCl to a mixture of fluoride ion and hydrogen fluoride, the fluoride ion precipitates out as its acid salt, affecting the equilibrium.

    Buffering Capacity Comparison

    • A mixture of 0.821 M HF and 0.909 M NaF exhibits the greatest buffering capacity due to closely matched molarity values.

    Effect of HCl on Acetic Acid Solution

    • Adding 0.01 mol of HCl to a solution of acetic acid and sodium acetate causes a slight decrease in pH as HCl reacts with the acetate ion.

    Titration Equivalence Points

    • A titration involving HC2H3O2 and KOH shows an equivalence point with a basic pH (pH > 7) since it involves a weak acid and strong base.
    • Titrating HNO3 with NaOH results in a neutral pH (pH = 7) at the equivalence point as it involves a strong acid and a strong base.

    Titration Curves

    • A strong acid titrated by a strong base results in a titration curve with an initial pH of 1.00 and an equivalence point at pH 7.0.
    • A weak acid titrated by a strong base yields an initial pH of 4.00 with an equivalence point at pH 9.35.
    • A strong base titrated by a strong acid produces an initial pH of 13.00 and an equivalence point at pH 7.0.

    Solubility of AgCl

    • AgCl has the lowest solubility in a 0.020 M BaCl2 solution due to the common ion effect; presence of Cl⁻ ions decreases solubility.
    • The question regarding the highest solubility of AgCl remains incomplete, but pure water typically enhances solubility compared to solutions with added salts.
