Question

2. HF(aq) + H2O(l) \(\rightleftharpoons\) H3O+(aq)+F-(aq) The equation above represents the acid ionization equilibrium for HF.

Assume that the impurities in the NaF (s) samples are inert. Which of the following explains how the error affects the pH and capacity of the buffer? (A) The pH is slightly higher than 3.50 and it has a lower capacity for the addition of acids because less than 4.20 g of NaF(s) was added.

2HFaq + HO = HOaq + Faq The equation above represents the acid ionization equilibrium for HF. To prepare a buffer with pH ~3.50, 4.20 g of NaF should be added to 500.0 mL of 0.100 M HFaq.

b-what-is-the-ph-after-0150-mol-of-hcl-is-added-to-the-buffer-from-part-a-assume-no-volume-change-on-the-addition-of-the-acid

What is the pH after 0.150 mol of HCl is added to the buffer from Part A? Assume no volume change on the addition of the acid.

When a solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, it will be a buffer solution. Buffers resist changes in pH following the addition of acid or base. A buffer solution prepared from a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A-) is represented as HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A-(aq). The buffer will follow Le Châtelier's principle. If acid is added, the reaction shifts to consume the added H+, forming more HA. When base is added, the base will react with H+, reducing its concentration. The reaction then shifts to replace H+ through the dissociation of HA into H+ and A-. In both instances, [H+] tends to remain constant. The pH of a buffer is calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]. a) What is the pH of a buffer prepared by adding 0.405 mol of the weak acid HA to 0.609 mol of NaA in 2.00 L of solution? The dissociation constant Ka of HA is 5.66×10^-7. b) What is the pH after 0.150 mol of HCl is added to the buffer from Part A? Assume no volume change on the addition of the acid. c) What is the pH after 0.195 mol of NaOH is added to the buffer from Part A? Assume no volume change on the addition of the base.

Buffer is a solution containing a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A-) or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Such a solution has the capability to withstand pH changes upon the addition of strong acids or bases. When a strong base is added (for example, NaOH), the weak acid in the buffer neutralizes the hydroxide ions and produces the conjugate base, which is equivalent in amount to the amount of OH- added. The ratio of the conjugate base and the weak acid does not change significantly if their concentrations are large compared to the number of moles of the strong base (OH-). The response is similar when external protons are added. In this case, the conjugate base reacts with the extra protons and neutralizes them. HA ---> H+ + A- or HA + H2O ---> H3O+ + A- HA + OH- ---> A- + H2O (acid-base neutralization) A- + H+ ---> HA or A- + H3O+ ---> HA + H2O (acid-base neutralization) pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]) QUESTION: Explain why this combination of compounds can or cannot make a buffer solution. Hint: apply the definition of a buffer, the mechanism of its action, and consider whether the compound is an acid (weak/strong) or base (weak/strong). A) HF (0.2 mol) and KF (0.1 mol) B) KF (0.1 mol) and NaF (0.1 mol)

00:01 To calculate the ph of a buffer solution, we typically use the henderson -hasselbalch equation, where ph equals pka, which is the negative log of the ka value for the acid.
00:13 This was given to us as 5 .66 times 10 to the negative 7.
00:18 We then add to that the log of the concentration of the weak base over the concentration of the weak acid, or equivalent is a ratio of moles.
00:30 So we could simply put the moles of the weak base, that being 0 .305 divided by the moles of the weak acid, 0 .809, and we don't need to worry about volume, and we get a ph of 5 .82.
00:56 Then if we're going to add some hcl to the buffer, the hcl is going to react with the weak base, creating more weak acid...
