The Danger of Antifreeze • Each year, thousands of pets and wildlife species die from consuming antifreeze • Most brands of antifreeze contain ethylene glycol • sweet taste • initial effect drunkenness • Metabolized in the liver to glycolic acid • HOCH2COOH glycolic acid (aka a-hydroxyethanoic acid) ethylene glycol (aka 1,2–ethandiol) Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e
Why Is Glycolic Acid Toxic? • If present in high enough concentration in the bloodstream, glycolic acid overwhelms the buffering ability of the HCO3− in the blood, causing the blood pH to drop • When the blood pH is low, its ability to carry O2 is compromised • acidosis HbH+(aq) + O2(g) HbO2(aq) + H+(aq) • One treatment is to give the patient ethyl alcohol, which has a higher affinity for the enzyme that catalyzes the metabolism of ethylene glycol Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e
Buffers • Buffers are solutions that resist changes in pH when an acid or base is added • They act by neutralizing acid or base that is added to the buffered solution • But just like everything else, there is a limit to what they can do, and eventually the pH changes • Many buffers are made by mixing a solution of a weak acid with a solution of soluble salt containing its conjugate base anion • blood has a mixture of H2CO3 and HCO3− Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e
Making an Acid Buffer Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e
How Acid Buffers Work:Addition of BaseHA(aq) + H2O(l) A−(aq) + H3O+(aq) • Buffers work by applying Le Châtelier’s Principle to weak acid equilibrium • Buffer solutions contain significant amounts of the weak acid molecules, HA • These molecules react with added base to neutralize it HA(aq) + OH−(aq) → A−(aq) + H2O(l) • you can also think of the H3O+ combining with the OH− to make H2O; the H3O+ is then replaced by the shifting equilibrium Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e

How Acid Buffers Work:Addition of AcidHA(aq) + H2O(l) A−(aq) + H3O+(aq) • The buffer solution also contains significant amounts of the conjugate base anion, A− • These ions combine with added acid to make more HA H+(aq) + A−(aq) → HA(aq) • After the equilibrium shifts, the concentration of H3O+ is kept constant Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e

Common Ion Effect HA(aq) + H2O(l) A−(aq) + H3O+(aq) • Adding a salt containing the anion NaA, which is the conjugate base of the acid (the common ion), shifts the position of equilibrium to the left • This causes the pH to be higher than the pH of the acid solution • lowering the H3O+ ion concentration Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation • Calculating the pH of a buffer solution can be simplified by using an equation derived from the Ka expression called the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation • The equation calculates the pH of a buffer from the pKa and initial concentrations of the weak acid and salt of the conjugate base • as long as the “x is small” approximation is valid Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e

Do I Use the Full Equilibrium Analysis or the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation? • The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is generally good enough when the “x is small” approximation is applicable • Generally, the “x is small” approximation will work when both of the following are true: • the initial concentrations of acid and salt are not very dilute • the Ka is fairly small • For most problems, this means that the initial acid and salt concentrations should be over 100 to 1000x larger than the value of Ka Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e
How Much Does the pH of a Buffer Change When an Acid or Base Is Added? • Though buffers do resist change in pH when acid or base is added to them, their pH does change • Calculating the new pH after adding acid or base requires breaking the problem into two parts • a stoichiometry calculation for the reaction of the added chemical with one of the ingredients of the buffer to reduce its initial concentration and increase the concentration of the other • added acid reacts with the A− to make more HA • added base reacts with the HA to make more A− • an equilibrium calculation of [H3O+] using the new initial values of [HA] and [A−] Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e
