The Definition of a Buffer The Definition of a Buffer Buffer a reasonably concentrated
solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
Buffer solutions resists pH changes when additional strong acid or strong base are added to the solutions.
Note: The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is really only valid for pH ranges near the pKa of the weak acid!
How Do We Use the Buffer How Do We Use the Buffer (the H-H) Equation? (the H-H) Equation? The pH of the buffer is
determined by the concentration ratio of weak acid to conjugate base at equilibrium.
How different are the equilibrium concentrations of weak acid/conjugate base from the initial concentrations?

The pH of a Buffer The pH of a Buffer SolutionSolutionMajor task
◦obtain the ratio of the concentrations of conjugate base to weak acid!
Using the Ka of the appropriate acid, the pH of the solution is obtained from the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
Preparing a Buffer Solution Preparing a Buffer Solution of a Specific pHof a Specific pHThe first step in the process is to
choose a suitable weak acid. The H-H equation is really only
valid in a pH range near the pKa of the weak acid;
Second Step Calculate the required ratio of conjugate base to weak acid from the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
From the previous problem, there are a number of concentrations where the ratio of the conjugate base to the weak acid will be acceptable
[CH3CH2COONa] = 0.13 M; [CH3CH2COOH] = 0.10 M [CH3CH2COONa] = 0.065 M;[CH3CH2COOH] =
0.050 M
[CH3CH2COONa] = 0.39 M; [CH3CH2COOH] = 0.30 M
[CH3CH2COONa] = 0.65 M; [CH3CH2COOH] = 0.50 M
[CH3CH2COONa] = 1.3 M; [CH3CH2COOH] = 1.0 M
Buffer CapacityBuffer CapacityBuffer Capacity refers to the
amount of strong acid/base that can be added to the buffer solution
Buffer capacity is directly related to the concentrations of the weak acid and conjugate base in the buffer solution

Adding Acid to Buffer Adding Acid to Buffer SolutionsSolutions
What happens when we add strong acid solutions to the buffer?
[H+] increased and the basic part of the buffer goes to work
H+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq) CH3COOH (aq)This is the reverse of the usual acid
dissociation equilibrium, hence, the reaction essentially goes to completion
Adding Base to Buffer Adding Base to Buffer Solutions Solutions What happens when we add the base
to the buffer?The [OH-] increases and the acid part
of the buffer goes to workOH- (aq) + CH3COOH (aq) CH3COO-
(aq) + H2O (l)This is the reverse of the usual base
dissociation equilibrium, hence, the reaction essentially goes to completion
Acid-base Titration CurvesAcid-base Titration CurvesChapter 4 – acid-base titrations
◦A known (standard) basic solution is slowly added to an unknown acid solution
What if we monitored the pH of the solution as a function of added titrant acid base titration curve is generated
Three cases to consider

When n(H+) = n(OH-), we are at the equivalence point of the titration
Product of reaction is a strong acid/strong base salt. The pH at the equivalence point is 7.00.

IndicatorsIndicators
Indicators are used to detect the endpoint of the acid-base titration.
Indicators are weak acids. Their ionization can be represented by the following reaction.
HIn (aq) ⇌ H+ (aq) + In- (aq)
Usually coloured
Also usually coloured, but the colour is different than for the acid form of the indicator.
Choose the indicator whose transition range (i.e., the pH range where it changes colour) matches the steep part of the titration curve
Note: we can use the following ratios as a guide.
[HIn] / [In-] > 10 acid colour dominates. [In-] / [HIn] > 10 base colour dominates.
Strong Acid/Strong Base steep part of titration curve pH 4-10. A number of indicators change colour in this range
Weak Acid/Strong Base steep part of titration curve pH >7.0. The indicator colour change must occur in this range
Strong Acid/Weak Base steep part of titration curve pH <7.0. The indicator colour change must occur in this range

The Definition of the KThe Definition of the Kspsp
Ksp the solubility product constant.
The product of the molar concentrations of the dissolved ions in equilibrium with the undissolved solid at a particular temperature.
Don’t confuse the solubility of the solid with the Ksp. These quantities
are related, but they are not the same.
Calculate the solubility of a solid in the presence of a common ion.

AgCl (s) ⇄ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)We approach this using the
principles of chemical equilibrium. ◦equilibrium data table, establish and
solve for our unknown quantity!
The Common Ion EffectThe Common Ion Effect
What about the solubility of AgCl in solution containing NaCl (aq)?
AgCl (s) ⇄ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)NaCl (aq) Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
AgCl (s) ⇄ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Equilibrium is displaced to the left by LeChatelier’s principle (an example of the common ion effect).
Solubility and pHSolubility and pHWhat happens when we try to
dissolve a solid like Mn(OH)2 in solutions of varying pH?
We first calculate the pH of the saturated solution of the Mn(OH)2.
Suppose that we try to dissolve Mn(OH)2 in an acidic solution
Mn(OH)2 (s) ⇄ Mn2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) H2O (l)
Mn(OH)2 (s) ⇄ Mn2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)Equilibrium is displaced to the right by
LeChatelier’s principle.
Solubility of CaFSolubility of CaF22 vs. pH vs. pH
Increase the [OH-] in the solution◦ looking at an example of the common ion
effect
Mn(OH)2 (s) ⇄ Mn2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)NaOH (aq) Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Mn(OH)2 (s) ⇄ Mn2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
Equilibrium is displaced to the left by LeChatelier’s principle.
Any solid that produces a moderately basic ion on dissociation (e.g., CaF2, MgCO3).◦solubility will decrease as the pH is
increased (i.e., the [OH-] in the solution is increased).
◦solubility will increase as the pH is decreased (i.e., the [H+] in the solution is increased).
What about solids whose anions do not exhibit basic tendencies? ◦PbCl2, the Cl- has no tendency to react
with added acid. ◦solubility of PbCl2, does not depend on
the solution pH!
The Formation of Metal The Formation of Metal ComplexesComplexesWe see that a number of metal anions
can act as Lewis acids; therefore, these ions can react strongly with Lewis bases and form complex ions.
AgCl (s) ⇄ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)Ag+ (aq) + 2 NH3 (aq) ⇄ Ag(NH3)2
+ (aq)For the NH3 (aq) to increase the
solubility of the metal salt, the NH3 (aq) must be a stronger Lewis base than the water molecules that it displaces.
Solubility of many metal containing compounds increases markedly in the presence of suitable complexing species◦NH3 (aq)
◦OH- (aq)◦CN- (aq)
The species Ag(NH3)2+ (aq) is known
as a complex ion. The equilibrium constant for the second reaction, Kf

The complexation reaction effectively removes all the Ag+ (aq) from the solution.
For the original equilibrium systemAgCl (s) ⇄ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
the equilibrium position is strongly displaced to the right by LeChatelier’s principle. The solubility
of AgCl is increased significantly in the presence of the complexing agent!
Predicting Precipitation: the Predicting Precipitation: the QQspsp Value ValueLet’s examine the following equilibrium
system. AgCl (s) ⇄Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Let’s say that we two solutions so that they would have the following concentrations.
[NaCl]o = 1.0x 10-5 M [Cl-]o = 1.0 x 10-5 M
[AgNO3] = 1.0 x 10-6 M [Ag+]o = 1.0 x 10-6 M
Would we be able to predict whether or not a precipitate will occur?
The QThe QspspValueValue
• Define the solubility product quotient Qsp.
We now examine the magnitude of the solubility product quotient (Qsp) with
respect to the Ksp. Qsp < Ksp no precipitate will formQsp > Ksp a precipitate will form
Qsp = Ksp saturated solution.

• Consider a mixture of Zn2+(aq) and Cu2+(aq). CuS (Ksp = 610-37) is less soluble than ZnS (Ksp = 210-25), CuS will be removed from solution before ZnS.
• As H2S is added to the green solution, black CuS forms in a colorless solution of Zn2+(aq).
• When more H2S is added, a second precipitate of white ZnS forms.
Precipitation and Precipitation and Separation of IonsSeparation of Ions
• Ions can be separated from each other based on their salt solubilities.
• Example: if HCl is added to a solution containing Ag+ and Cu2+, the silver precipitates (Ksp for AgCl is 1.8 10-10) while the Cu2+ remains in solution.
• Removal of one metal ion from a solution is called selective precipitation.
Precipitation and Precipitation and Separation of IonsSeparation of Ions
• Qualitative analysis is designed to detect the presence of metal ions.
• Quantitative analysis is designed to determine how much metal ion is present.
• We can separate a complicated mixture of ions into five groups:– Add 6 M HCl to precipitate insoluble chlorides
(AgCl, Hg2Cl2, and PbCl2).
– To the remaining mix of cations, add H2S in 0.2 M HCl to remove acid insoluble sulfides (e.g. CuS, Bi2S3, CdS, PbS, HgS, etc.).
– To the remaining mix, add (NH4)2S at pH 8 to remove base insoluble sulfides and hydroxides (e.g. Al(OH)3, Fe(OH)3, ZnS, NiS, CoS, etc.).
