A beaker with 155 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 5.40 mL of a 0.490 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740.

Answer:

ΔpH = 0.296

Explanation:

The equilibrium of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) in water is:

CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺

Henderson-Hasselbalch formula to find pH in a buffer is:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]

Replacing with known values:

5.000 = 4.740 + log₁₀ [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]

0.260 =  log₁₀ [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]

1.820 = [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH] <em>(1)</em>

As total molarity of buffer is 0.100M:

[CH₃COO⁻] + [CH₃COOH] = 0.100M <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

1.820 = 0.100M - [CH₃COOH] / [CH₃COOH]

1.820[CH₃COOH] = 0.100M - [CH₃COOH]

2.820[CH₃COOH] = 0.100M

[CH₃COOH] = 0.100M / 2.820

[CH₃COOH] = <em>0.035M</em>

Thus: [CH₃COO⁻] = 0.100M - 0.035M = <em>0.065M</em>

5.40 mL of a 0.490 M HCl are:

0.0054L × (0.490mol / L) = 2.646x10⁻³ moles HCl.

Moles of CH₃COO⁻ are: 0.155L × (0.065mol / L) = 0.0101 moles

HCl reacts with CH₃COO⁻ thus:

HCl + CH₃COO⁻ → CH₃COOH

After reaction, moles of CH₃COO⁻ are:

0.0101 moles - 2.646x10⁻³ moles = <em>7.429x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COO⁻</em>

<em />

Moles of CH₃COOH  before reaction are: 0.155L × (0.035mol / L) = 5.425x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH. As reaction produce 2.646x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH, final moles are:

5.425x10⁻³ moles +  2.646x10⁻³ moles = <em>8.071x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH</em>. Replacing these values in Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = 4.740 + log₁₀ [7.429x10⁻³ moles] / [8.071x10⁻³ moles]

pH = 4.704

As initial pH was 5.000, change in pH is:

ΔpH = 5.000 - 4.740 = <em>0.296</em>

A solution is made by adding 35.5 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid ( 37.3 wt% , density 1.19 g/mL1.19 g/mL ) to some water i
erastova [34]

Answer:

1.73 M

Explanation:

We must first obtain the concentration of the concentrated acid from the formula;

Co= 10pd/M

Where

Co= concentration of concentrated acid = (the unknown)

p= percentage concentration of concentrated acid= 37.3%

d= density of concentrated acid = 1.19 g/ml

M= Molar mass of the anhydrous acid

Molar mass of anhydrous HCl= 1 +35.5= 36.5 gmol-1

Substituting values;

Co= 10 × 37.3 × 1.19/36.5

Co= 443.87/36.6

Co= 12.16 M

We can now use the dilution formula

CoVo= CdVd

Where;

Co= concentration of concentrated acid= 12.16 M

Vo= volume of concentrated acid = 35.5 ml

Cd= concentration of dilute acid =(the unknown)

Vd= volume of dilute acid = 250ml

Substituting values and making Cd the subject of the formula;

Cd= CoVo/Vd

Cd= 12.16 × 35.5/250

Cd= 1.73 M
