A beaker with 135 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjug

ate base in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 5.70 mL of a 0.490 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change

Answer:

pH = 4.64

Explanation:

To find the pH of a buffer solution we need to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

<u>We have</u>:

pKa = 4.76

pH_{i} = 5.00

[CH₃COOH] + [CH₃COO⁻] = 0.100 M

V = 135 mL = 0.135 L  

To find the pH after the student adds the solution of HCl, first, we need to find the concentrations of the acetic acid and acetate (conjugate base). To do that we will calculate the number of moles before and after the addition of HCl solution.  

Before the addition of the HCl solution we have:

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

5.00 = 4.76 + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = 1.74

[CH_{3}COO^{-}] = 1.74*[CH_{3}COOH]    (1)

Also we have that the total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M:

[CH_{3}COOH] + [CH_{3}COO^{-}] = 0.100 M   (2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) for [CH₃COOH] and [CH₃COO⁻], we have:

[CH₃COOH] = 0.036 M

[CH₃COO⁻] = 0.064 M

Now, the number of moles of the acid and conjugate base is:  

\eta_{[CH_{3}COOH]} = 0.036 mol/L*0.135 L = 4.86 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

\eta_{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]} = 0.064 mol/L*0.135 L = 8.64 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

                                 

After the addition of HCl solution we have:

\eta_{HCl} = 0.490 M*5.70 \cdot 10^{-3} L = 2.79 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

The HCl added will react with the conjugate base of the acetic acid:

            H₃O⁺   +    CH₃COO⁻     ⇄     CH₃COOH   +    H₂O      

2.79x10⁻³moles   8.64x10⁻³moles                                  

From the reaction of HCl with CH₃COO⁻ we have:

\eta_{CH_{3}COO^{-}} = 8.64 \cdot 10^{-3} moles - 2.79\cdot 10^{-3} moles = 5.85 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

\eta_{CH_{3}COOH} = 4.86 \cdot 10^{-3} moles + 2.79 \cdot 10^{-3} moles = 7.65 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

Finally, we can find the pH of the solution after the addition of HCl:

V_{T} = 5.7 \cdot 10^{-3} L + 0.135 L = 0.141 L

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

pH = 4.76 + log(\frac{\eta_{CH_{3}COO^{-}}/V_{T}}{\eta_{CH_{3}COOH}/V_{T}})

pH = 4.76 + log(\frac{5.85 \cdot 10^{-3} moles/0.141 L}{7.65 \cdot 10^{-3} moles/0.141 L})

pH = 4.64

I hope it helps you!

If you weighed out 0.38 g of calcium and reacted it with an excess of hcl, how many moles of h2(g) would you expect to produce?
Hitman42 [59]
Answer is: 0,0095 mol of hydrogen gas will be produced in reaction.
Chemical reaction: Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂.
m(Ca) = 0,38 g.
n(H₂) = ?
n(Ca) = m(Ca) ÷ M(Ca).
n(Ca) = 0,38 g ÷ 40 g/mol
n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
from reaction: n(Ca) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.
n(H₂) = n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
n - amount of substance.
