Solutions of Acids or Bases Containing a Common Ion NaF Na + + F - HF H + + F - What effect does the NaF have on the dissociation of HF? add F - from NaF HF H + + F - fewer H + Common Ion Effect a shift in equilibrium that occurs because of the addition of an ion already in the equilibrium Important in polyprotic acids The production of H + in the first step inhibits the production of H + in subsequent steps
Common Ion Sample Problem 15.1 p. 682 In Section 14.5 we found the equilibrium concentration of H + in a 1.0 M HF solution is 2.7 x 10-2 M, and the percent dissociation of HF is 2.7%. Calculate the [H + ] and the percent dissociation of HF in a solution containing 1.0 M HF (Ka = 7.2 x 10-4 ) and the 1.0 M NaF.
Common Ion Practice Exercise #25 page 740 Compare the percent dissociation of 0.100 M propanoic acid (HC 3 H 5 O 2, Ka = 1.3 x 10-5 with the percent dissociation of a mixture containing 0.100M HC 3 H 5 O 2 and 0.100M NaC 3 H 5 O 2. Explain the large difference in precent dissociation of the acid.

How does buffering work when base is added? HA H + + A - When OH - is added to the system it reacts completely with the HA to produce water and A -. OH - + HA H 2 O + A - For the original buffering system Ka = [H + ][A - ]/[HA] Rearrange [H + ] = Ka x [HA]/[A - ] Ka will not change so.. [H + ] (and ph) is governed by [HA]/[A - ] When OH - is added the HA is converted to A - [HA]/[A - ] decreases so [H + ] decreases [HA] [A] [HA] [A] [HA] [A] The change in [HA]/[A - ] is small so the change in [H + ] and ph is small The essence of buffering is that [HA] & [A - ] are large compared to [OH - ] added Try

Summary of Most Important Characteristics of Buffered Solutions Contains large concentrations of weak acid and weak base weak acid, HA & conjugate base, A Weak base B & conjugate acid, BH + When H + is added, it reacts to completion with the weak base. H + + A - HA or H + + B BH + When OH - is added, it reacts to completion with the weak acid. OH - + HA A - + H 2 O or OH - + BH + B + H 2 O The ph of the buffered solution is determined by the ratio of [HA] to [A - ] or [B] to [BH + ] these concentrations are large compared to the amount of H + or OH - added.
Buffering Capacity The amount of H + that can be absorbed with out significant change in ph The ph of a buffer is determined by the ratio [A - ]/[HA]. The capacity of the buffer is determined by the magnitudes of [HA] & [A - ].
