A Buffer Is a Solution That Resists Changes in Ph Upon the Addition of a Small Amount of Strong Acid Or Strong Base. a Buffer Is Chapter 16 Worksheet 1 Buffers and the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation 1. State the operational and technical definitions of a buffer. Operational definition (What does it do?): A buffer is a solution that resists changes in pH upon the addition of a small amount of strong acid or strong base. Technical definition (How do you make one?): A buffer is composed of a mixture·of a weak acid its conjugate base. (Sometimes a solution that is technically a buffer does NOT resist changes in pH. This occurs when so much acid or base are added to the buffer that they become the excess reactant.) 2. The pH of a buffer is determined by two things: The Ka (or pKa) of the conjugate acid and [A-] = moles A ­ [HA] moles HA 3. Write equations that show what happens when a small amount of strong acid (H+) or strong base (OH-) are added to a buffer. HA + OH- -7 A- + H20 (conjugate acid neutralizes added strong base) A- + H+ -7 HA (conjugate base neutralizes added strong acid) (Note: For a buffer to resist changes in pH, the added OH- or the added H+ must be limiting. If they are not you say that you have exceeded the "buffering capacity".) 4. Explain why the pH does not change very much when a small amount of strong acid or strong base are added to a buffer. The pH does not change very much because (A"] I (HA] does not change very much. This is true as long as the amount of strong acid or base added is small compared to the amount of conjugate acid and conjugate base in the buffer. Ifyou add too much strong acid or base, you will exceed the buffering capacity. 5. What is meant by "buffering capacity"? What determines "buffering capacity"? Buffering capacity refers to the amount of added acid or added base that can be neutralized by a buffer. It is determined by the concentrations of the conjugate acid and conjugate base. Buffering capacity increases as these concentrations increase. 6. Most often (but not always) buffers are prepared such that the concentrations of the conjugate acid and base are similar. Why? So the buffer will have equal capacity to neutralize either added base or added acid. 2 7. Calculate the pH of the following 3 solutions. 4 a. A 0.250 M solution ofHF (Ka = 7.1 x 10- ) b.

The Henderson-Hasselbalch (H-H) equation provides a recipe for making a buffer of a given pH. It is simply the logarithmic form ofthe Ka expression for the conjugate acid. a. Derive the H-H equation below. When you mix a weak acid with its conjugate base, the acid ionization reaction shifts to the left so the % ionization drops. Thus, we can assume that [HA]eq = [HA]o and [K]eq = [A-]o and no ICE table is required. HA= H+ +A­ (H+] - K (BA]0 at a [A-]0 -loglln = -logK. -log( ~:) pH = pK. -log( ~:J pH =pK. +Jo{~)) Henderson-Hasselbalch equation If [HA] = [A-] then [H+] = Ka and pH = pKa [A-] moles A- pH pKa + log -- = pKa + log --­ [HA] moles HA If [A] = [HA] then pH::;: pKa If [A-] > [HA] then pH > pKa If [A-] < [HA] then pH < pKa 4 9.

That's because cellular metabolism produced acidic waste products that are pumped into the blood. 11. Circle the conjugate acid-base pair that you would choose to prepare a buffer solution that has a pH of4.50. 3 a. HCIO and CIO' b. C6HsCOOH and C6HSCOO' c. HPO/' and P04 , 5 (Ka 3.5 x 10'8) (Ka = 6.3 x 10. ) (Ka 3.6 x 10,13) Explain your choice: Benzoic acid and the benzoate ion is the best choice because the pKa of benzoic acid is closest to 4.50. Therefore, the resulting buffer will have a base to acid ratio close to one. 12. A buffer's job is to prevent large pH changes upon the addition of small amounts of either strong acid or strong base. As long as the buffer capacity is not exceeded, any added strong acid or strong base will be neutralized by the buffer components. Let's look at this process quantitatively. a. What is the pH of a buffer made by mixing 10 mL of OAO M sodium dihyrdogen phosphate with 10 mL of 0.40 M~en phosphate?

  • Choosing Buffers Based on Pka in Many Experiments, We Need a Buffer That Maintains the Solution at a Specific Ph. We May Need An
    Choosing buffers based on pKa In many experiments, we need a buffer that maintains the solution at a specific pH. We may need an acidic or a basic buffer, depending on the experiment. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can help us choose a buffer that has the pH we want. pH = pKa + log([conj. base]/[conj. acid]) With equal amounts of conjugate acid and base (preferred so buffers can resist base and acid equally), then … pH = pKa + log(1) = pKa + 0 = pKa So choose conjugates with a pKa closest to our target pH. Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 Example: You need a buffer with pH of 7.80. Which conjugate acid-base pair should you use, and what is the molar ratio of its components? 2 Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 Practice: Choose the best conjugate acid-base pair for preparing a buffer with pH 5.00. What is the molar ratio of the buffer components? 3 Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 buffer capacity: the amount of strong acid or strong base that can be added to a buffer without changing its pH by more than 1 unit; essentially the number of moles of strong acid or strong base that uses up all of the buffer’s conjugate base or conjugate acid. Example: What is the capacity of the buffer solution prepared with 0.15 mol lactic acid -4 CH3CHOHCOOH (HA, Ka = 1.0 x 10 ) and 0.20 mol sodium lactate NaCH3CHOHCOO (NaA) and enough water to make 1.00 L of solution? (from previous lecture notes) 4 Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 Review of equivalence point equivalence point: moles of H+ = moles of OH- (moles of acid = moles of base, only when the acid has only one acidic proton and the base has only one hydroxide ion).

  • Introduction to Ionic Mechanisms Part I: Fundamentals of Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base Chemistry
    INTRODUCTION TO IONIC MECHANISMS PART I: FUNDAMENTALS OF BRONSTED-LOWRY ACID-BASE CHEMISTRY HYDROGEN ATOMS AND PROTONS IN ORGANIC MOLECULES - A hydrogen atom that has lost its only electron is sometimes referred to as a proton. That is because once the electron is lost, all that remains is the nucleus, which in the case of hydrogen consists of only one proton. The large majority of organic reactions, or transformations, involve breaking old bonds and forming new ones. If a covalent bond is broken heterolytically, the products are ions. In the following example, the bond between carbon and oxygen in the t-butyl alcohol molecule breaks to yield a carbocation and hydroxide ion. H3C CH3 H3C OH H3C + OH CH3 H3C A tertiary Hydroxide carbocation ion The full-headed curved arrow is being used to indicate the movement of an electron pair. In this case, the two electrons that make up the carbon-oxygen bond move towards the oxygen. The bond breaks, leaving the carbon with a positive charge, and the oxygen with a negative charge. In the absence of other factors, it is the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms that drives the direction of electron movement. When pushing arrows, remember that electrons move towards electronegative atoms, or towards areas of electron deficiency (positive, or partial positive charges). The electron pair moves towards the oxygen because it is the more electronegative of the two atoms. If we examine the outcome of heterolytic bond cleavage between oxygen and hydrogen, we see that, once again, oxygen takes the two electrons because it is the more electronegative atom.

    Drugs and acid dissociation constants Ionisation of drug molecules Most drugs ionise in aqueous solution.1 They are weak acids or weak bases. Those that are weak acids ionise in water to give acidic solutions while those that are weak bases ionise to give basic solutions.

In a dilute solution the concentration of water is to all intents and purposes constant. So the equation is simplified to: where Ka is the acid dissociation constant for the weak acid + + Also, H3O is often written simply as H and the equation for Ka is usually written as: Values for Ka are extremely small and, therefore, pKa values are given (similar to the reason pH is used rather than [H+]. The relationship between pKa and pH is given by the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: or This relationship is important when determining pKa values from pH measurements.

  • Buffers and Buffer Capacity
    BUFFERS AND BUFFER CAPACITY By Dr. Jan Pláteník Principle of buffering A buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH either when diluted or when limited amounts of acid or base are added to it. Such a solution can be prepared by combining a weak acid and its salt with a strong base (conjugated base) or, analogously, a weak base and its salt with a strong acid (conjugated acid). For example: Acetate buffer : CH 3COOH (the weak acid) + CH 3COONa (the salt, conjugated base) Phosphate buffer : NaH 2PO 4 (the weak acid) + Na 2HPO 4 (the salt, conjugated base) Tris buffer: (Tris: Tris [2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-propan-1,3-diol)] , an organic base) The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation describes the behavior of such a buffer and for the mixture of a weak acid and its salt with a strong base (conjugated base) it has the form: cs pH = pK a + log cac pK a negative logarithm of the dissociation constant for the weak acid, cs substance concentration of the salt (conjugated base), cac substance concentration of the weak acid (conjugated acid). Graphically the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation plotted as the acid : conjugated base ratio vs. pH of buffer actually constitutes the titration curve of the weak acid (see figure on the next page). Note also that for the acid : base ratio 1:1 the pH of buffer just equals the pK a (this is valid for uni-univalent systems, e.g., CH 3COOH/CH 3COONa, NaH 2PO 4/Na 2HPO 4). 1 Titration curve of sodium phosphate buffer 10 9 8 pH = pKa = 7.21 7 pHof buffer 6 5 9:1 8:2 7:3 6:4 1:1 4:6 3:7 2:8 1:9 Acid : base ratio The equation for a weak base and its salt with a strong acid (conjugated acid) has the form: cb pH = pK w − pK b + log cs pK b negative logarithm of the dissociation constant for the weak base, cb substance concentration of the base, cs substance concentration of the salt (conjugated acid), -14 pK w = 14 = − log 10 (ionic product of water).

  • Buffer Solution Adapted from WIKI
    技 术 资 料 集 锦 NO：20140924 Buffer solution in Biology adapted from WIKI A buffer solution (more precisely, pH buffer or hydrogen ion buffer) is an aqueous solution consisting Acids and bases of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. Its pH changes very little when a small amount ofstrong acid or base is added to it and thus it is used to prevent changes in the pH of a solution. Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical applications. Many life forms thrive only in a relatively small pH range so they utilize a buffer solution to maintain a constant pH. One example of a buffer solution found in nature is blood. pH Acid–base reaction Contents Acid–base titration Acid-base extraction Dissociation constant 1 Principles of buffering Acid dissociation constant 2 Applications Acid strength o 2.1 Simple buffering agents Acidity function o 2.2 "Universal" buffer mixtures Buffer solutions o 2.3 Common buffer compounds used in biology Proton affinity 3 Buffer capacity Self-ionization of water 4 Calculating buffer pH Amphoterism o 4.1 Monoprotic acids Acid types o 4.2 Polyprotic acids 5 See also Brønsted 6 References Lewis 7 External links Mineral 0510 81819585 | 189 51576701 | QQ: 2642 166682 | [email protected] 1 无锡天演生物技术有限公司 | 江苏省无锡市智慧路 33 号 7 栋 601 室 技 术 资 料 集 锦 NO：20140924 Organic Strong Superacids Principles of buffering Weak Simulated titration of an acidified solution of a weak acid (pKa = Base types 4.7) with alkali.
