For 500.0 mL of a buffer solution that is 0.185 molL−1 in C2H5NH2 and 0.175 molL−1 in C2H5NH3Cl, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.020 mol of HCl.
Method One:
a)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . HONH2 + H2O ⇌ HONH3+ + OH-
Before add HCl: 0.400 . . . . . . . . . . 0. . . .
.........trace
After add HCl: . .0.380 . . . . . . . . . . 0.020 . . . .
.trace
Kb = [HONH3+]*[OH-]/[HONH2] = (0.020/0.380)*[OH-] =1.1E-8
[OH-] = 0.209E-6... ->...pOH = 6.68
pH+pOH = 14 ...->...pH = 7.32
b) HONH3Cl is the acid in this conjugated acid-base couple. Hence
the added HCl will not react with HONH3Cl and [H3O+] = 0.020.
[H3O+] = 0.020. Therefore pH = -log(0.020) = 1.70
c)
mixture containing 0.400 M HONH2 and 0.400 M HONH3Cl
. . . . . . . . . . . . . HONH2 + H2O ⇌ HONH3+ + OH-
Before add HCl: 0.400 . . . . . . . . . . 0.400 . . . .
.trace
After add HCl: . .0.380 . . . . . . . . . . 0.420 . . . .
.trace
Kb = [HONH3+]*[OH-]/[HONH2] = 1.105E-8[OH-]=1.1E-8
[OH-] = 0.995E-8 -> pOH = 8.00
pOH +pH = 14 -> pH = 6.00
d) [H3O+] = 0.020. Therefore pH = -log(0.020) = 1.70
Method Two:
a)
pure water : pH = 7.00
moles NaOH = 0.010
[OH-]= 0.010 mol/ 0.240 L=0.0417 M
pOH = - log 0.0417= 1.38
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.38=12.6
b)
Ka = 1.8 x 10^-4
pKa = 3.74
pH = 3.74 + log 0.315 / 0.195 =3.95 ( initial pH of the buffer
)
moles formic acid = 0.195 M x 0.240 L=0.0468
moles formate = 0.315 M x 0.240 L =0.0756
the effect of the added 0.010 mol OH- would be to decrease the
moles of formic acid by 0.010 and increases the moles of formate by
0.010 by the reaction
HCOOH + OH- = HCOO-
moles HCOOH = 0.0468 - 0.010 = 0.0368
moles HCOO- = 0.0756 + 0.010=0.0856
concentration HCOOH = 0.0368 / 0.240 L=0.153 M
concentration HCOO- = 0.0856 / 0.240 =0.357
pH = 3.74 + log 0.357 / 0.153 = 4.11 ( final pH)
c)
Kb of ethylammine = 4.3 x 10^-4
pKb = 3.37
pOH = 3.37 + log 0.255 / 0.275 = 3.34
pH = 14 - 3.34 =10.7 ( initial pH)
moles CH3CH2NH3+ = 0.255 x 0.240 L=0.0612
moles CH3CH2NH2 = 0.275 x 0.240 L=0.0660
CH3CH2NH3+ + OH- = CH3CH2NH2 + H2O
moles CH3CH2NH3+ = 0.0612 - 0.010 =0.0512
moles CH3CH2NH2 = 0.0660 + 0.010 =0.0760
concentration CH3CH2NH3+ = 0.0512 / 0.240 =0.213 M
concentration CH3CH2NH2 = 0.0760 / 0.240=0.317 M
pOH = 3.37 + log 0.213 / 0.317=3.20
pH = 10.8
