H2ONaCl (s) → Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)Na+ and Cl- ions do not react with water.The solution is neutral.

2.KCNK+ is from KOH , a strong baseCN- is from HCN, a weak acid

H2OKCN (s) → K+ (aq) + CN- (aq)K+ ions do not react with water, but CN- ions do.

Ions As Acids And Bases

Certain and anion ions can cause an aqueous solution to become acidic or basic due to hydrolysis.

• Salts of strong acids and strong bases form neutral solutions.• Salts of weak acids and strong bases form basic solutions.• Salts of strong acids and weak bases form acidic solutions.• Salts of weak acids and weak bases form solutions that are

acidic in some cases, neutral or basic in others.

Buffer Solutions

• A buffer solution is a solution that changes pH only slightly when small amounts of a strong acid or a strong base are added.

• A buffer contains

CH3COOH CH3COO- Acidic buffer NH3 NH4

+ Alkalin buffer

Page 19: Equilibrium In Solutions Of  Weak Acids And Weak Bases

How A Buffer Solution Works

• The acid component of the buffer can neutralize small added amounts of OH-, and the basic component can neutralize small added amounts of H3O+.

Buffer Capacity

• There is a limit to the capacity of a buffer solution to neutralize added acid or base, and this limit is reached before all of one of the buffer components has been consumed.

• In general, the more concentrated the buffer components in a solution, the more added acid or base the solution can neutralize.

• As a rule, a buffer is most effective if the concentrations of the buffer acid and its conjugate base are equal. [B]=[A]

• [Buffer]=[Acid]+[Base]

Acid-Base Indicators

• An acid-base indicator is a weak acid having one color and the conjugate base of the acid having a different color. One of the “colors” may be colorless.

HIn + H2O H3O+ + In-

• Acid-base indicators are often used for

applications in which a precise pH reading isn’t necessary.

• A common indicator used in chemistry laboratories is Phenolphetalein.

Neutralization Reactions• Neutralization is the reaction of an acid and a base.• Titration is a common technique for conducting a

neutralization.• At the equivalence point in a titration, the acid and base

have been brought together in exact stoichiometric proportions.

• The point in the titration at which the indicator changes color is called the end point.

• The indicator endpoint and the equivalence point for a neutralization reaction can be best matched by plotting a titration curve, a graph of pH versus volume of titrant.

• In a typical titration, 50 mL or less of titrant that is 1 M or less is used.

Titration Curve ForWeak Acid - Strong Base

• The initial pH is higher because weak acid is partially ionized.• At the half-neutralization point, pH = pKa.• pH >7 at equivalence point because the anion of the weak acid hydrolyzes.• The steep portion of titration curve around equivalence point has a smaller pH range.• The choice of indicators for the titration is more limited.

Species concentrations of weak diprotic acids• Evaluate concentrations of species in a 0.10 M H2S solution.• Solution:

H2S = H+ + HS– Ka1 = 1.02e-7(0.10–x) x+y x-y Assume x = [HS–]

• HS– = H+ + S2– Ka2 = 1.0e-13

x–y x+y y Assume y = [S2–]• (x+y) (x-y) (x+y) y

————— = 1.02e-7 ———— = 1.0e-13(0.10-x) (x-y)

• [H2S] = 0.10 – x = 0.10 M[HS–] = [H+] = x y = 1.0e–4 M; [S2–] = y = 1.0e-13 M

• 0.1>> x >> y: x+ y = x-y = x

x = 0.1*1.02e-7 = 1.00e-4y = 1e-13
