Applications of Aqueous Equilibria
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
• Consider a solution of acetic acid:
• If acetate ion is added to the solution, Le Châtelier says the equilibrium will shift to the left.
HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2−(aq)
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
“The extent of ionization of a weak electrolyte is decreased by adding to the solution a strong electrolyte that has an ion in common with the weak electrolyte.”
Add more of the same ion and there will be less ions of the weak one.
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
• The addition of concentrated HCl to a saturated solution of NaCl will cause some solid NaCl to precipitate out of solution. The NaCl has become less soluble because the addition of additional chloride ion.
• NaCl + HCl → more NaCl due to increased Cl-
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
pH If a substance has a
basic anion, it will be more soluble in an acidic solution.
Substances with acidic cations are more soluble in basic solutions.
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
• The addition of a common ion to a weak acid solution makes the solution LESS acidic.
HC2H3O2(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + C2H3O2
-(aq)
• If NaC2H3O2 is added to the system, the equilibrium shifts to undissociated HC2H3O2 raising the pH. The new pH can be calculated by putting the concentration of the anion into the Ka equation and solving for the new [H+].
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
• Adding NaF to a solution of HF causes more HF to be produced. Major species are HF, Na+, F-, and H2O. Common ion is F-.
• In a 1.0M NaF and 1.0M HF solution, there is more HF in the presence of NaF.
HF(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + F-
(aq)
• Le Chatelier’s indicates that additional F- due to the NaF causes a shift to the left and thus generates more HF.
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
Finding the pH
1. Always determine the major species.
2. Write the equilibrium equation and expression.
3. Determine the initial concentrations.
4. Do ICE chart and solve for x.
5. Once [H+] has been found, find pH.
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE ONE
The equilibrium concentration of H+ in a 1.0M HF solution is 2.7 x 10-2M and the percent dissociation of HF is 2.7%. Calculate [H+] and the percent dissociation of HF in a solution containing 1.0M HF (Ka = 7.2 x 10-4) and 1.0M NaF.
AqueousEquilibria
THE COMMON-ION EFFECT
Notice:
1.0M HF % dissociation 2.7%
versus
1.0M HF and 1.0M NaF % dissociation 0.072%
AqueousEquilibria
The Common-Ion Effect
Because HCl, a strong acid, is also present, the initial [H3O+] is not 0, but rather 0.10 M.

AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERS• Solutions of a weak
conjugate acid-base pair.
• They are particularly resistant to pH changes, even when strong acid or base is added.
• Just a case of the common ion effect.
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERS
• You are always adding a strong acid or strong base to a buffer solution.
• Buffer system (conjugate acid-base pair) acts as a net – “catches” acid or base
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERS
If a small amount of hydroxide is added to an equimolar solution of HF in NaF, for example, the HF reacts with the OH− to make F− and water.
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERS
If acid is added, the F− reacts to form HF and water.
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERS
Example:
HC2H3O2 / C2H3O2- buffer system (the “net”)
• Add a strong acid:
H+ + C2H3O2- → HC2H3O2 forms a weak acid
• Add a strong base:
OH- + HC2H3O2 → C2H3O2- + H2O
forms a weak base
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERS
Example:
NH3 / NH4+ buffer system (the “net”)
• Add a strong acid: H+ + NH3 → NH4+
forms a weak acid
• Add a strong base:
OH- + NH4+ → NH3 + H2O
forms a weak base
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE TWO
• A buffered solution contains 0.050M acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka = 1.8 x 10-5) and 0.50M sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2). Calculate the pH of the solution.
AqueousEquilibria
HELPFUL TIPS• Buffered solutions are simply solutions of weak
acids and bases containing a common ion.• The pH calculations for buffered solutions
require exactly the same procedures as determining the pH of weak acid or weak base solutions learned previously.
• When a strong acid or base is added to a buffered solution, it is best to deal with the stoichiometry of the resulting reaction first. After the stoichiometric calculations are completed, then consider the equilibrium calculations.
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERS
• Adding a strong acid or base to a buffered solution
Requires moles
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE THREECalculate the change in pH that occurs when 0.010mol solid NaOH is added to 1.0L of the buffered solution contains 0.050M acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka = 1.8 x 10-5) and 0.50M sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2). Compare this pH change with that which occurs when 0.010mol solid NaOH is added to 1.0L of water.
AqueousEquilibria
HOW BUFFERING WORKS
• When hydroxide ions are added to the solution, the weak acid provides the source of protons. The OH- ions are not allowed to accumulate, but are replaced by A-.
OH- + HA → A- + H2O
• pH can be understood by looking at the EQ expression.
Ka = or [H+] = Ka
AqueousEquilibria
HOW BUFFERING WORKS
AqueousEquilibria
HOW BUFFERING WORKS
• So [H+] (and thus pH) is determined by the ratio of [HA]/[A-]. When OH- ions are added, HA converts to A- and the ratio decreases. However, is the amounts of [HA] and [A-] are LARGE, then the change in the ratio will be small.
• If [HA]/[A-] = 0.50M / 0.50M = 1.0M initially. After adding 0.010M OH-, it becomes [[HA]/[A-] = 0.49M / 0.51M = 0.96M. Not much of a change. [H+] and pH are essentially constant.
AqueousEquilibria
HOW BUFFERING WORKS
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFER CALCULATIONS
Consider the equilibrium constant expression for the dissociation of a generic acid, HA:
[H3O+] [A−][HA]
Ka =
HA + H2O H3O+ + A−
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFER CALCULATIONS
Rearranging slightly, this becomes
[A−][HA]
Ka = [H3O+]
Taking the negative log of both sides, we get
[A−][HA]
−log Ka = −log [H3O+] + −log
pKa
pHacid
base
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFER CALCULATIONS• So
pKa = pH − log[base][acid]
• Rearranging, this becomes
pH = pKa + log[base][acid]
• This is the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation.
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFER CALCULATIONS
• For a particular buffering system, all solutions that have the same ratio of [A-] /[HA] have the same pH.
• Optimum buffering occurs when [HA] = [A-] and the pKa of the weak acid used should be as close to possible to the desired pH of the buffer system.
AqueousEquilibria
HENDERSON-HASSELBACH
• The equation needs to be used cautiously. • It is sometimes used as a quick, easy
equation in which to plug in numbers. • A Ka or Kb problem requires a greater
understanding of the factors involved and can ALWAYS be used instead of the HH equation.
• However, at the halfway point (as in a titration), the HH is very useful.
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE FOUR
What is the pH of a buffer that is 0.75 M lactic acid, HC3H5O3, and 0.25 M in sodium lactate? Ka for lactic acid is 1.4 10−4.
AqueousEquilibria
HENDERSON–HASSELBALCH EQUATION
pH = pKa + log[base][acid]
pH = −log (1.4 10−4) + log(0.25)(0.75)
pH = 3.85 + (−.477)
pH = 3.37
AqueousEquilibria
HINTS
1. Determine the major species involved.
2. If a chemical reaction occurs, write the equation and solve stoichiometry.
3. Write the EQ equation.
4. Set up the equilibrium expression (Ka or Kb) of the HH equation.
5. Solve.
6. Check the logic of the answer.
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE FIVE
A buffered solution contains 0.25M NH3 (Kb = 1.8 x 10-5) and 0.40M NH4Cl. Calculate the pH of this solution.
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE SIX
Calculate the pH of the solution that results when 0.10mol gaseous HCl is added to 1.0Lof the buffered solution of contains 0.25M NH3 (Kb = 1.8 x 10-5) and 0.40M NH4Cl.
AqueousEquilibria
BUFFERING CAPACITY
• This is the amount of acid or base that can be absorbed by a buffer system without a significant change in pH.
• In order to have a large buffer capacity, a solution should have large concentrations of both buffer components.
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE SEVENCalculate the change in pH that occurs when 0.010mol gaseous HCl is added to 1.0L of each of the following solutions (Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10-5):
• Solution A: 5.00M HC2H3O2 and 5.00M NaC2H 3O2
• Solution B: 0.050M HC2H3O2 and 0.050M NaC2H 3O2
AqueousEquilibria
HINT
• We see that the pH of a buffered solution depends on the ratio of the [base] to [acid] (or [acid] to [base]).
• Big concentration difference = large pH change
AqueousEquilibria
PRACTICE EIGHTA chemist needs a solution buffered at pH 4.30 and can choose from the following list of acids and their soluble salt:
a. chloroacetic acid Ka = 1.35 × 10-3
b. propanoic acid Ka = 1.3 × 10-5
c. benzoic acid Ka = 6.4 × 10-5
d. hypochlorus acid Ka = 3.5 × 10-8
Calculate the ratio of [HA] / [A-] required for each system to yield a pH of 4.30. Which system works best?
AqueousEquilibria
TITRATIONS and pH CURVES
• Only when the acid AND base are both strong is the pH at the equivalence point 7.
• Any other conditions and you get to do an equilibrium problem. It is really a stoichiometry problem with a limiting reactant. The “excess” is responsible for the pH
• Weak acid + strong base equivalence pt. > pH 7
• Strong acid + weak base equivalence pt. < pH 7
AqueousEquilibria
END PT VS EQUIVALENCE PT
• There is a distinction between the equivalence point and the end point.
• The end point is when the indicator changes color.
• If you’ve made a careful choice of indicators, the equivalence point, when the number of moles of acid = number of moles of base, will be achieved at the same time.
AqueousEquilibria
VOCABULARY
• Titrant – solution of know concentration (usually in the buret). The titrant is added to a solution of unknown concentration until the substance being analyzed is just consumes (stoichiometric point or equivalence point).
• Titration or pH Curve – plot of pH as a function of the amount of titrant added.
AqueousEquilibria
pH RANGE
• The pH range is the range of pH values over which a buffer system works effectively.
• It is best to choose an acid with a pKa close to the desired pH.
AqueousEquilibria
Titration
A known concentration of base (or acid) is slowly added to a solution of acid (or base).
AqueousEquilibria
TitrationA pH meter or indicators are used to determine when the solution has reached the equivalence point, at which the stoichiometric amount of acid equals that of base.
AqueousEquilibria
STRONG ACID-STRONG BASE
H+(aq) + OH-
(aq) → H2O(l)
• To compute H+, we have to know how much H+ remains at that point in the titration.
• New unit: millimole, mmol – titrations usually involve small quantities.
• This means Molarity = = . • So a 1.0M = =

The results of a-g are plotted. The pH changes gradually until the titration is close to the equivalence point when there is a dramatic change. Why is this?
AqueousEquilibria
STRONG ACID-STRONG BASE
Characteristics:• At equivalence point, pH = 7.• Before the equivalence point, [H+] and
thus pH can be calculated by dividing mmol H+ by total volume of solution.
• After the equivalence point, [OH-] and thus pOH and then pH can be calculated by dividing mmol OH- by total volume of solution.

From the start of the titration to near the equivalence point, the pH goes up slowly.
AqueousEquilibria

Just before and after the equivalence point, the pH increases rapidly.
AqueousEquilibria
Titration of a Strong Acid with a Strong Base
At the equivalence point, moles acid = moles base, and the solution contains only water and the salt from the cation of the base and the anion of the acid.

As more base is added, the increase in pH again levels off.
AqueousEquilibria
WEAK ACID – STRONG BASE
• We have to do a series of buffer problems like we did earlier.
• Remember that although the acid is weak, it reacts to completion with the OH- ion, a very strong base.
AqueousEquilibria
WEAK ACID – STRONG BASE
• A two-step procedure:A stoichiometry problem: The rxn of OH_
with the weak acid is assumed to run to completion, and concentrations of the acid remaining and conjugate base formed are determined.
An equilibrium problem: The position of the weak acid equilibrium is determined and pH is calculated.
AqueousEquilibria
WEAK ACID – STRONG BASE
• At halfway to the equivalence point, pH = pKa.
• At the equivalence point, a basic salt is present and pH > 7
• After the equivalence point, the strong base will be the dominant species and a simple pH calculation can be done after stoichiometry.

• It took the same amount of NaOH in both the example and Practice Nine to reach the equivalence point. It is the AMT of the acid, not its strength that determines the equivalence point.
• The pH value at the equivalence point IS affected by acid strength.
• The strength of a weak acid has a significant effect on the shape of its pH curve. The weaker the acid, the greater the pH at the equivalence point. As the acid becomes weaker, the vertical region (shaded to the left) becomes shorter.

Titration of a Weak Acid with a Strong Base
• Unlike in the previous case, the conjugate base of the acid affects the pH when it is formed.
• The pH at the equivalence point will be >7.
• Phenolphthalein is commonly used as an indicator in these titrations.
AqueousEquilibria
Titration of a Weak Acid with a Strong Base
At each point below the equivalence point, the pH of the solution during titration is determined from the amounts of the acid and its conjugate base present at that particular time.

Titration of a Weak Acid with a Strong Base

TITRATION CURVE
FIVE POINTS OF INTEREST ALONG A TITRATION CURVE for weak acids/bases:
A. The pH before the titration begins. Treat as usual, the acid or base in the flask determines the pH. If weak, an ICE chart is in order.
AqueousEquilibria
TITRATION CURVEFIVE POINTS OF INTEREST ALONG A TITRATION CURVE:
B. The pH on the way to the equivalence point. You are in the “land of buffer” as soon as the first drop from the buret makes a splash and reacts to form the salt. Whatever is in the buret is the “added” part. Use to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration and subsequently the pH. Either the acid or the base [whichever is in the buret] starts at ZERO. Do the stoichiometry and then an ICE chart.
AqueousEquilibria
TITRATION CURVE
FIVE POINTS OF INTEREST ALONG A TITRATION CURVE:
C. The pH at the midpoint of the titration (½ equivalence point): once the midpoint is reached, [H+] = Ka since ½ of the acid or base has been neutralized, AND the resulting solution in the beaker is composed of the half that remains AND the salt. That means that pH = pKa.
AqueousEquilibria
TITRATION CURVE
FIVE POINTS OF INTEREST ALONG A TITRATION CURVE:
D. The pH at the equivalence point.—you are simply calculating the pH of the salt, all the acid or base is now neutralized [to salt + water!]. Write the hydrolysis reaction for your ICE chart.
AqueousEquilibria
TITRATION CURVE
FIVE POINTS OF INTEREST ALONG A TITRATION CURVE:
E. The pH beyond the equivalence point—it is stoichiometry again with a limiting reactant. Calculate the molarity of the EXCESS and solve for either pH directly (excess H+) or pOH (excess OH−) and subtract it from 14.00 to arrive at pH. Be sure to track the total volume when calculating the molarity!
AqueousEquilibria
WEAK BASE – STRONG ACID
• We have to do a series of buffer problems like we did earlier.
• Remember that although the base is weak, it reacts to completion with the H+ ion, a very strong acid.
• At the equivalence point, an acidic salt is present and pH < 7
• After the equivalence point, the strong acid will be the dominant species and a simple pH calculation can be done after stoichiometry.

SUMMARY
AqueousEquilibria
SUMMARY1. Buffered solutions contain relatively large
concentrations of a weak acid and the corresponding weak base. They can involve a weak acid, HA, and the conjugate base, A-, or a weak base, B and the conjugate acid, BH+.
2. When H+ is added to a buffered solution, it reacts essentially to completion with the weak acid present. H+ + A- → HA or H+ + B → BH+
AqueousEquilibria
SUMMARYC. When OH- is added to a buffered solution, it
reacts essentially to completion with the weak acid present. OH- + HA → A- + H2O or OH- + BH+ → B + H2O
D. The pH of the buffered solution is determined by the ratio of the concentrations of the weak acid and weak base. As long as this ratio remains virtually constant, the pH will remain virtually constant. This will be the case as long as the concentrations of the buffering materials (HA and A- or B and BH+) are large compared with the amounts of H+ and OH- added.

TITRATIONS OF POLYPROTIC ACIDS
In these cases there is an equivalence point for each dissociation.
AqueousEquilibria
ACID BASE INDICATORS• Marks the end point of a titration by changing
color. • The end point is NOT the equivalence point• With careful selection of an indicator, it can be.• We want the indicator end point and the titration
equivalence point to be as close as possible – choose wisely.
• Since strong acid-strong base titrations have a large vertical area, color changes will be sharp and a wide range of indicators can be used.
AqueousEquilibria
ACID BASE INDICATORS
• With weak acids and bases, we must be more careful in our choice of indicator.
• Indicators are usually weak acids, HIn. They have one color in their acidic form, HIn, and another color in their basic form, In-.
• Common indicator = phenolphthaleincolorless in its HIn formpink in its In-
form.
It changes color in the pH range of 8-10.
AqueousEquilibria
ACID BASE INDICATORS• Usually 1/10 of the initial form of the indicator must
be changed to the other form before a new color is apparent.
• Equations used to determine the pH at which an indicator will change color:For titration of an ACID: pH = pKa + log1/10 = pKa – 1
For titration of a BASE: pH = pKa + log10/1 = pKa + 1
• The useful range of an indicator is usually pKa + 1.
• When choosing an indicator, determine the pH at the equivalence point of the titration and then choose an indicator with a pKa close to that.

SOLUBILITY EQ
• Saturated solutions of salts are another type of chemical equilibria.
• Saturated solution of AgCl:

AqueousEquilibria
SOLUBILITY EQ• The Ksp for AgCl = 1.6 x 10-10.
• If the product of [Ag+][Cl-] is < 1.6 x 10-
10, then the solution is unsaturated and no solid would be present.
• If the product were 1.6 x 10-10, the product is exactly saturdated and no solid would be present.
• If the product > 1.6 x 10-10, the solution is saturated and a solid (precipitate) would form.

WILL A PRECIPITATE FORM?
In a solution, If Q = Ksp, the system is at equilibrium and the
solution is saturated. If Q < Ksp, more solid will dissolve until Q = Ksp.
If Q > Ksp, the salt will precipitate until Q = Ksp.
