Common Ion Effect ShiL in the equilibrium posifon due to the addifon of an ion already involved in the equilibrium process. An applicafon of Le Châtelier s principle.
A Common Ion Effect Consider the following equilibrium: HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) + H 2 O(l) H 3 O + (aq) + C 2 H 3 O 2 - (aq) Adding NaC 2 H 3 O 2 to the solufon will shil the equilibrium to the lel because [C 2 H 3 O 2 - ] increases; C 2 H 3 O 2 - is part of the equilibrium system. This equilibrium shil causes [H 3 O + ] to decrease and raise the ph of the solufon. SoluFons containing a mixture of HC 2 H 3 O 2 and NaC 2 H 3 O 2 are less acidic than those solufons of HC 2 H 3 O 2 alone, and they are less basic than those of NaC 2 H 3 O 2 alone.
ph of weak acid and the Effect of Common Ions Consider the following solufons: Calculate the ph of 1.00 M HC 2 H 3 O 2 solufon. What is the ph of a solufon that contains 1.00 M HC 2 H 3 O 2 and 0.50 M NaC 2 H 3 O 2. SoluFon-1: Equilibrium: HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) H + - (aq) + C 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) IniFal [ ], M 1.00 0.00 0.00 Change, D[ ], M -x +x +x Equilm. [ ], M (1.00 x) x x
ph of AceFc Acid by itself. SoluFon-1: K a = [H + 2 3O ][CH 3CO2 ] x -5 = = 1.8 x 10 [CH 3 COOH] (1.00 - x) By approximafon, x = -5 ( 1.00 x 1.8 x 10 ) = 4.2 x 10-3 [H 3 O + ] = x = 4.2 x 10-3 M, è ph = 2.37
AceFc Acid-Acetate Equilibrium SoluFon-2: Equilibrium: HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) H + - (aq) + C 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) IniFal [ ], M 1.00 0.00 0.50 Change, D[ ], M -x +x +x Equilm. [ ], M (1.00 x) x (0.50 + x)
ph of AceFc Acid + Sodium Acetate SoluFon-2: K a + 3O ][CH 3CO2 ] ( x)(0.50 + x) -5 = = 1.8 x 10 [H = [CH 3 COOH] (1.00 - x) By approximafon, x = (1.00/0.50)(1.8 x 10-5 ) = 3.6 x 10-6 M [H + ] = x = 3.6 x 10-6 M, è ph = 4.44 Solu.on containing HC 2 H 3 O 2 and NaC 2 H 3 O 2 is less acidic than one containing only HC 2 H 3 O 2 at the same concentra.on.
Buffered SoluFons Buffered SoluFon resists a change in ph. They are weak acids or bases containing a common ion. ALer addifon of strong acid or base, deal with stoichiometry first, then the equilibrium.

Henderson Hasselbalch EquaFon HA(aq) H + (aq) + A - (aq); K a = + [H ][A [HA] ] ph = pka + log([a ]/[HA]) For a parfcular buffer system, solufons with the same [A ]/[HA] rafo have same ph.
ph of Buffer SoluFon What is the ph of a buffer solufon that is 0.45 M acefc acid (HC 2 H 3 O 2 ) and 0.85 M sodium acetate (NaC 2 H 3 O 2 )? The K a for acefc acid is 1.8 10 5. SoluFon: ph = pk a + log([c 2 H 3 O 2 -]/[HC 2 H 3 O 2 ] ph = -log(1.8 10 5 ) + log(0.85/0.45) ph = 4.74 + 0.28 = 5.02
CharacterisFcs of Buffer SoluFons Contain weak acids or weak bases and their corresponding conjugate partners (common ions). Resist changes in ph. Buffering capacity depends on concentrafons of weak acid or weak base and their common ions. EffecFve ph buffering range ~ pk a ± 1
CharacterisFcs of Buffer SoluFons 1. Buffers contain relafvely large amounts of the weak acids (HA) and their conjugate base,( A ) (or weak bases and their conjugate acids) 2. Buffer ph is determined by the pk a of the acid HA and the molar rafo of the conjugate base to acid: [A ]/[HA].
CharacterisFcs of Buffer SoluFons 3. Buffer ph changes very limle because the rafo [A ]/[HA] changes very limle when a small amount of strong acid or strong base is added. 4. [H 3 O + ] in buffer solufons remains more or less constant: Most of H + from strong acid is absorbed by the conjugate base ; A most of OH added from strong base reacts with acid HA in the buffer to yield A and H 2 O.
Buffering Capacity How much H 3 O + or OH - the buffer can absorb without significantly changing its ph.. A Depends on the concentrafons of HA and High [HA] and [ A ] lead to large buffering capacity. ;[ A ] OpFmal buffering occurs when [HA] = RaFo [A ] / [HA] ~ 1 strong resist to change when either H 3 O + or OH is added.
Some Common Buffers Buffers pk a ph Range HCHO 2 NaCHO 2 3.74 2.74 4.74 CH 3 CO 2 H NaCH 3 CO 2 4.74 3.74 5.74 KH 2 PO 4 K 2 HPO 4 7.21 6.20 8.20 CO 2 /H 2 O NaHCO 3 6.37 5.40 7.40 NH 4 Cl NH 3 9.25 8.25 10.25
Choosing a Buffer System The weak acid in buffer has pk a close to target ph. For example, KH 2 PO 4 and K 2 HPO 4 may be used to buffer at ph ~ 7.5 (H 2 PO 4 has pk a = 7.20) Phosphate buffer is most effecfve in the ph range 6.20 8.20; it has the highest buffering capacity at about ph = 7.20.

(b) If [H 2 PO 4 - ] = 0.20 M, what is [HPO 4 2- ]? (c) How many grams of KH 2 PO 4 and K 2 HPO 4, respecfvely, are needed to make 500. ml of this solufon? (H 2 PO 4 - has K a = 6.2 x 10-8 )
Solutions to Buffer example #2 (a) Use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: ph = pk a + log([hpo 2-4 ]/[H 2 PO - 4 ]) 7.40 = 7.21 + log([hpo 2-4 ]/[H 2 PO - 4 ]) log([hpo 2-4 ]/[H 2 PO - 4 ]) = 7.40 7.21 = 0.19 [HPO 2-4 ]/[H 2 PO - 4 ] = 10 0.19 = 1.55 (b) If [H 2 PO 4 - ] = 0.20 M, [HPO 4 2- ] = 1.55 x 0.20 M = 0.31 M
Solutions to Buffer example #2 (c) Moles of KH 2 PO 4 needed = 500. ml x (1 L/1000 ml) x 0.20 mol/l = 0.10 mole Moles of K 2 HPO 4 needed = 500. ml x (1 L/1000 ml) x 0.31 mol/l = 0.155 mole Grams of KH 2 PO 4 needed = 0.10 mol x (136.086 g/mol) = 14 g Grams of K 2 HPO 4 needed = 0.155 mol x (174.178 g/mol) = 27 g

Acid-Base Indicators An indicator is a substance added to acid or base solufon to marks the end point of a FtraFon by the change of its color. For example, phenolphthalein changes from colorless to pink at the end point when an acid is Ftrated with a base. The end point of a FtraFon should correspond to the equivalence points of the acid-base reacfon.
The Acid and Base Forms of the Indicator Phenolphthalein
The Methyl Orange Indicator is Yellow in Basic SoluFon and Red in Acidic SoluFon
Choosing Indicators 1. The ph range for color changes should occur within the sharp verfcal rise (or drop) in the ph-ftrafon curves. 2. An indicator changes color at ph = pk a ± 1, where pk a is that of the indicator used.
