The Common Ion Effect • In the previous chapter, you examined the behavior of weak acids and bases in terms of equilibrium involving conjugate pairs. • The pH of a solution was found via Ka or Kb. • What would happen if you started with a solution of acid that was mixed with a solution of its conjugate base? • The change of pH when a significant ammout of conjugate base is present is an example of the “Common Ion Effect”.
The Common Ion Effect What is the effect on the pH of a 0.25M NH3(aq) solution when NH4Cl is added? NH4+ is an ion that is COMMON to the equilibrium. Le Chatelier predicts that the equilibrium will shift to the left to reduce the disturbance. This results in a reduciton of the hydroxide ion concentration, which will lower the pH. Hint: NH4+ is an acid!
The Common Ion Effect First let’s find the pH of a 0.25M NH3(aq) Solution:

The Common Ion Effect First let’s find the pH of a 0.25M NH3(aq) Solution: Assuming x is << 0.25, x = [OH] = pOH = 2.67 pH = 14.00 2.67 = 11.33 for 0.25 M NH3
The Common Ion Effect What is the pH of a solution made by adding equal volumes of 0.25M NH3(aq) and 0.10M NH4Cl(aq)? Since the solutions are mixed with one another, the effect of dilution is cancelled out. One can use the initial concentrations of each species in the reaction without calculating new molarities. This also works with mole ratios.
The Common Ion Effect What is the pH of a solution made by adding equal volumes of 0.25 M NH3(aq) and 0.10 M NH4Cl(aq)? Since there is more ammonia than ammonium present, the RXN will proceed to the right.

The Common Ion Effect What is the pH of a solution made by adding equal volumes of 0.25 M NH3(aq) and 0.10 M NH4Cl(aq)? Assuming x is << 0.25 or 0.10 pOH = 4.35 pH = 9.65 The pH drops from11.33 due to the common ion!
Controlling pH: Buffer Solutions HCl is added to pure water. HCl is added to a solution of a weak acid H2PO4- and its conjugate base HPO42-.
Controlling pH: Buffer Solutions • A “Buffer Solution” is an example of the common ion effect. • From an acid/base standpoint, buffers are solutions that resist changes to pH. • A buffer solution requires two components that do not react with one another: • An acid capable of consuming OH • The acid’s conjugate base capable of consuming H3O+
Controlling pH: Buffer Solutions Consider the acetic acid / acetate buffer system. • The ability for the acid to consume OH is seen from the reverse of the base hydrolysis: • Krev is >> 1, indicating that the reaction is product favored. • An hydroxide added will immediately react with the acid so long as it is present.
Controlling pH: Buffer Solutions Consider the acetic acid / acetate buffer system. • Similarly, the conjugate base (acetate) is readily capable of consuming H3O+ • Krev is >> 1, indicating that the reaction is product favored. • An hydronium ion added will immediately react wit the acid so long as it is present.

Buffer Solutions Problem: What is the pH of a buffer that has [CH3CO2H] = 0.700 M and [CH3CO2] = 0.600 M? Since the concentration of acid is greater than the base, equilibrium will move the reaction to the right.
Buffer Solutions Problem: What is the pH of a buffer that has [CH3CO2H] = 0.700 M and [CH3CO2] = 0.600 M? Assuming that x << 0.700 and 0.600, we find:
Buffer Solutions Problem: What is the pH of a buffer that has [CH3CO2H] = 0.700 M and [CH3CO2] = 0.600 M? [H3O+] = 2.1 105 pH = 4.68
Buffer Solutions The expression for calculating the [H+] of the buffer reduces to: The H3O+ concentration depends only Ka and the ratio of acid to base.
Buffer Solutions Similarly for a basic solution the [OH] of the buffer reduces to: The OH concentration depends only Kb and the ratio of base to acid.
Buffer Solutions: The Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation The result is known as the “Henderson-Hasselbalch” equation. The pH of a buffer can be adjusted by manipulating the ratio of acid to base.
