Part B) For 490.0 mL of a buffer solution that is 0.175 M in HC2H3O2 and 0.155 M in NaC2H3O2, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.020 mol of HCl. Part C) For 490.0 mL of a buffer solution that is 0.185 M in CH3CH2NH2 and 0.165 M in CH3CH2NH3Cl, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.020 mol of HCl.
Part B) For 490.0 mL of a buffer solution that is 0.175 M in HC2H3O2 and 0.155 M in NaC2H3O2, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.020 mol of HCl.
Here HC2H3O2 = acetic acid
Ka = 1.75 × 10 −5
pKa = 4.75
initial pH of this buffer:
pH = pKa+ log salt / acid
pH = 4.75+ log 0.155 / 0.175
=4.75-0.053
=4.697
moles acid = 0.175 M x 0.490 L=0.08575
moles salt = 0.155 M x 0.490 L =0.07595
Moles of HCl= 0.020 mol of HCl
0.07595-0.020= 0.05595 mol of the base of the buffer left in solution
0.08575+0.020= 0.10595 mol of the acid of the buffer now in
solution
now final pH:
pH = 4.75 (pka of weak acid) + log (0.05595/0.10595)
=4.75-0.277
= 4.473
Part C) For 490.0 mL of a buffer solution that is 0.185 M in CH3CH2NH2 and 0.165 M in CH3CH2NH3Cl, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.020 mol of HCl.
initial pH:
Kb of Ethyl Amine = 5.6*10^4
pKb = 3.25
pOH = pKb + log(BA-/Base_
pOH =3.25+ log(0.165/0.185)
pOH = 3.25-0.05
pOH = 3.20
pH = 14 -3.20
= 10.80
Here adding HCl will convert the base NH3 into NH4Cl....
CH3CH2NH2 + HCl ------> CH3CH2NH3Cl
number of moles of HCl =0.02 moles
number of moles of CH3CH2NH3Cl in 490 ml = 0.165X 0.490 =
0.08085
number of moles of CH3CH2NH2 in 490 ml = 0.185X0.490= 0.09065
as 1 mole of HCl converts 1 mole of CH3CH2NH2 into 1 mole of
CH3CH2NH3Cl
so 0.02 moles of HCl will convert 0.02 moles of CH3CH2NH2 into 0.02
moles of CH3CH2NH3Cl
so now total number of moles of CH3CH2NH2 = 0.09065 -0.02 =
0.07065
number of moles of CH3CH2NH3Cl = 0.08085+0.05 = 0.10085
total volume = 490 ml = 0.490 L
so [salt] = 0.10085/0.490 = 0.206 M
[base] = 0.07065/0.490 = 0.144 M
pOH = pKb + log(BA-/Base_
pOH =3.25+ log(0.144/0.206)
pOH = 3.25-0.156
pOH = 3.104
so pH = 14-3.104 = 10.896
