Titrations and pH curves2.
Solubility equilibria3.
Topics in this chapter:
Buffers resist changes to the pH of a solution.
Consider a normal weak acid equilibrium:
HA + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + A−
Which direction will the reaction shift if more A− is
added?
What happens to the acidity?
What happens to the % ionization of HA?
The equilibrium concentrations of HA and A− will be very
close to their initial concentrations:
Ka = [H3O+] =

pH = pKa + log [base]
[acid]
This only works for a buffer solution
(high concentrations of both parts of a
conjugate acid-base pair)
�
Don't flip the fraction! The conj. base is on top!�
Use the pKa of the conjugate acid.�
But be careful…
What is the pH of a solution of 0.50 M acetic acid and
0.50 M sodium acetate?

What is the pH of a solution of
0.10 M ammonium chloride and 0.15 M ammonia?
Buffer pH calculation
ch16blank Page 3
Buffers resist changes in pH because they contain both
an acid and a base.
What happens when you add H3O+ to the buffer?
In a buffer of HA and A−:
What happens when you add OH− to the buffer?

a buffer which contains 0.010 mol NH4+ and 0.015 mol
NH3?

A buffer contains 0.47 M HNO2 and 0.61 M NaNO2. What
is the pH of this buffer?

to 243 mL of the buffer solution?

Relative amounts of acid and base:
A buffer is most effective when the ratio of A− to HA is
between 0.1 and 10. What pH range does this
correspond to?
So, when creating a buffer, make sure the pKa of the
acid is as close to the desired pH as possible.
What is the pH range of a buffer created by formic
acid (pKa = 3.74) and its conjugate?
What ratio of the base to acid would be needed to
make a pH 4.00 buffer?
Absolute concentrations of acid and base:
A buffer is effective when the concentrations of A−
and HA are at least 10x greater than the
concentration of an added strong acid or base.

Compounds we called "insoluble" before, are actually
very slightly soluble, governed by an equilibrium:
CaF2(s) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + 2 F−(aq)
Solubility product constant, Ksp for CaF2 =
Molar solubility, S = mol solute (when saturated)

If the molar solubility, S, of PbF2 is 2.61 x 10−3 M, what is
the Ksp of PbF2?
PbF2(s) ⇌
What are the ion concentrations?
Solubility equilibria

If Ksp for Mg(OH)2 is 2.06 x 10−13, calculate the molar
solubility, S.
Calculating molar solubility
ch16blank Page 17
Direct comparison of Ksp values only works between
compounds that dissociate into the same number of
ions.
Which is the most soluble?
BaF2 Ksp = 2.45 x 10−5
CaF2 Ksp = 1.46 x 10−10
Fe(OH)2 Ksp = 4.87 x 10−17
PbCl2 Ksp = 1.17 x 10−15
PbBr2 Ksp = 4.67 x 10−6
Ksp and relative solubility

How is solubility affected when more ions are added to
the solution?
Ca(OH)2(s) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + 2 OH−(aq); Ksp = 4.68 x 10−6
To this solution, we add Ca(NO3)2

If a compound's dissociation produces a basic anion
(usually OH−, CO32−, S2−), solubility is dependent on pH.
CaCO3(s) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + CO32−(aq)
Addition of strong acid to this solution…
A similar effect occurs when base is added to a solution
which contains an acidic cation.

To calculate whether or not a precipitate will form, take
the given ion concentrations and calculate Q (the
reaction quotient).
If Q = Ksp:
If Q > Ksp:
If Q < Ksp:

[Pb2+] = 0.25 M, [Cl−] = 0.017 M. Will a precipitate form?
