  1. Which of the following buffers would be the best choice for a desired pH of 3.0:

            a. Acetic acid (pKa=4.74)

            b. HF (pKa= 3.14)

            c. Carbonic acid (pKa=6.37)

            d. Propanoic acid (pKa=4.85)

            e. Not enough information is given

  1. A buffer (1L total volume) contains 0.15 moles ammonia and 0.25 moles ammonium chloride (pKa=9.26). What is the pH of that buffer solution? What is the pH after 0.0025 moles of KOH are added?

  1. Which of the following makes the best buffer (assume equal volumes):
  1. 0.1 M HNO3 and 0.1 M LiOH
  2. 0.1 M acetic acid (Ka = 1.8E-5) and 0.1 M NaOH
  3. 1M acetic acid (Ka = 1.8E-5) and 0.0001 M sodium acetate
  4. 0.1 M acetic acid and 0.1 M sodium acetate
  1. When adding strong base to a buffer, which component of the solution is reacting with that strong base? Draw the reaction using HA for the weak acid and A- for the weak base.

Buffers based on di- or triprotic acids may have multiple pH regions over which they are stable. That is, they exhibit some stability as the pH of solution is equivalent to each of their pKas (pKa1, pKa2, pKa3). If you have a di- or triprotic buffer, state below whether you see evidence of this in the form of your pH curve. If you do not see evidence of this, explain why this should be the case.
