Section 2: Buffered Solutions Chapter 17: Additional Aspects of Aqueous Equilibria
Introduction • Solutions prepared with common ions have a tendency to resist drastic pH changes even when subjected to the addition of strong acids or bases. • Such solutions are called buffered solutions. • Blood is buffered to a pH of about 7.4. • Surface seawater is buffered to a pH between 8.1 and 8.3.
Composition and Action • A buffer resists pH change because it contains … • an acid to neutralize added OH− ions • a base to neutralize added H+ ions • But we cannot have the acid and base consume one another through neutralization.
Composition and Action • Therefore, we use weak conjugate acids and bases to prepare our buffers. • For example: • HCH3COO and CH3COO− • HF and F− • NH4+ and NH3 • HClO and ClO−
Composition and Action • If we have a solution of HF and NaF, we have HF(aq) and F−(aq) in solution. • If we add a small amount of a strong acid, • we use the F− to neutralize it: F−(aq) + H+(aq) → HF(aq) • If we add a small amount of a strong base, • we use the HF to neutralize it: HF(aq) + OH−(aq) → F−(aq) + H2O(l)
Composition and Action • Let’s consider another buffer composed of the weak acid HX and the strong electrolyte MX (M is a metal from Group 1, for example). • The acid dissociation involves both the weak acid and its conjugate base. HX(aq) ⇄ H+(aq) + X−(aq)
Composition and Action • Let’s consider another buffer composed of the weak acid HX and the strong electrolyte MX (M is a metal from Group 1, for example). • The acid dissociation involves both the weak acid and its conjugate base. HX(aq) ⇄ H+(aq) + X−(aq) • The acid dissociation constant is Ka = [H+][X−] [HX]
Composition and Action • Let’s consider another buffer composed of the weak acid HX and the strong electrolyte MX (M is a metal from Group 1, for example). • The acid dissociation involves both the weak acid and its conjugate base. HX(aq) ⇄ H+(aq) + X−(aq) • Solving for [H+] [H+] = Ka [HX] [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • The [H+] and pH depend on two things: [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • The [H+] and pH depend on two things: • Ka • the ratio of the concentrations of conjugate acid-base pair. [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If OH− ions are added, they will react with the acid component to produce water and X−. [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If OH− ions are added, they will react with the acid component to produce water and X−. OH−(aq) + HX(aq) → H2O(l) + X−(aq) [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If OH− ions are added, they will react with the acid component to produce water and X−. OH−(aq) + HX(aq) → H2O(l) + X−(aq) • This causes a decrease in [HX] and an increase in [X−]. [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If OH− ions are added, they will react with the acid component to produce water and X−. OH−(aq) + HX(aq) → H2O(l) + X−(aq) • This causes a decrease in [HX] and an increase in [X−]. • So long as the amounts of HX and X− are large, the ratio of [HX]/[X−] does not change. [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If H+ ions are added, they will react with the base component to produce the acid. [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If H+ ions are added, they will react with the base component to produce the acid. H+(aq) + X−(aq) → HX(aq) [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If H+ ions are added, they will react with the base component to produce the acid. H+(aq) + X−(aq) → HX(aq) • This causes a decrease in [X−] and an increase in [HX]. [X−]
Composition and Action [HX] [H+] = Ka • If H+ ions are added, they will react with the base component to produce the acid. H+(aq) + X−(aq) → HX(aq) • This causes a decrease in [X−] and an increase in [HX]. • So long as the amounts of HX and X− are large, the ratio of [HX]/[X−] does not change. [X−]
