HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2−(aq) The Common-Ion Effect • Consider a solution of acetic acid: • If acetate ion is added to the solution, Le Châtelier says the equilibrium will shift to the left.
The Common-Ion Effect “The extent of ionization of a weak electrolyte is decreased by adding to the solution a strong electrolyte that has an ion in common with the weak electrolyte.”
Ka = [H3O+] [F−] [HF] = 6.8 10-4 The Common-Ion Effect Calculate the fluoride ion concentration and pH of a solution that is 0.20 M in HF and 0.10 M in HCl. Ka for HF is 6.8 10−4.
HF(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + F−(aq) The Common-Ion Effect Because HCl, a strong acid, is also present, the initial [H3O+] is not 0, but rather 0.10 M.
(0.10) (x) (0.20) 6.8 10−4 = (0.20) (6.8 10−4) (0.10) The Common-Ion Effect = x 1.4 10−3 = x
The Common-Ion Effect • Therefore, [F−] = x = 1.4 10−3 [H3O+] = 0.10 + x = 1.01 + 1.4 10−3 = 0.10 M • So, pH = −log (0.10) pH = 1.00
Acidic Solutions Containing Common Ions In section 14.5 we found that the equilibrium concentration of H+ in a 1.0 M HF solution is 2.7 10−2, & the % dissociation of HF is 2.7%. Calculate the [H+] & the % dissociation of HF in a solution that is 1.0 MHF (Ka for HF is 7.2 10−4) & 1.0 M NaF.
Buffers: • Solutions of a weak conjugate acid-base pair. • They are particularly resistant to pH changes, even when strong acid or base is added.
Buffers If a small amount of hydroxide is added to an equimolar solution of HF in NaF, for example, the HF reacts with the OH− to make F− and water.
Buffers If acid is added, the F− reacts to form HF and water.
Ka = [H3O+] [A−] [HA] HA + H2O H3O+ + A− Buffer Calculations Consider the equilibrium constant expression for the dissociation of a generic acid, HA:
[A−] [HA] [H3O+] Ka = base [A−] [HA] −log [H3O+] + −log −log Ka = pKa acid pH Buffer Calculations Rearranging slightly, this becomes Taking the negative log of both side, we get
[base] [acid] pKa = pH − log [base] [acid] pH = pKa + log Buffer Calculations • So • Rearranging, this becomes • This is the Henderson–Hasselbalchequation.

pH Range • The pH range is the range of pH values over which a buffer system works effectively. • It is best to choose an acid with a pKa close to the desired pH.
When Strong Acids or Bases Are Added to a Buffer… …it is safe to assume that all of the strong acid or base is consumed in the reaction.
Addition of Strong Acid or Base to a Buffer • Determine how the neutralization reaction affects the amounts of the weak acid and its conjugate base in solution. • Use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation to determine the new pH of the solution.
Calculating pH Changes in Buffers A buffer is made by adding 0.300 mol HC2H3O2 and 0.300 mol NaC2H3O2to enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. The pH of the buffer is 4.74. Calculate the pH of this solution after 0.020 mol of NaOH is added. Before the reaction, since mol HC2H3O2 = mol C2H3O2− pH = pKa = −log (1.8 10−5) = 4.74
Calculating pH Changes in Buffers The 0.020 mol NaOH will react with 0.020 mol of the acetic acid: HC2H3O2(aq) + OH−(aq) C2H3O2−(aq) + H2O(l)
(0.320) (0. 200) pH = 4.74 + log Calculating pH Changes in Buffers Now use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation to calculate the new pH: pH = 4.74 + 0.06 pH = 4.80
