Buffer capacity refers to the amount of acid or base a buffer can absorb without a significant pH change. It is governed by the concentrations of the conjugate acid and base components of the buffer. A 0.5 M buffer can “absorb” five times as much acid or base as a 0.1 M buffer for a given pH change. In the next three problems you begin with a buffer of known pH and concentration and calculate the new pH after a particular quantity of acid or base is added. You are given 60 mL of 0.50 M p2hosphate buffer, pH = 6.83, to test. The starting composition of the buffer, both in terms of the concentration and the molar quantity of the two major phosphate species, is: Concentration of HPO42−: 0.304 M Molar quantity of HPO42−: 18.2 mmol Concentration of H2PO4−: 0.196 M Molar quantity of H2PO4−: 11.8 mmol a. You add 1.7 mL of 1.00 M HCl to the buffer. Calculate the molar quantity of H3O+ added as HCl, and the final molar quantity of HPO42- and H2PO42- at equilibrium.

A buffer is made with 0.50 M weak acid and 0.50 M sodium salt of the conjugate base. The pKa of the weak acid is 9.30 After the addition of a small amount of strong concentrated acid, the new equilibrium concentrations are 0.6 M weak acid and 0.4 M base. Calculate the new pH.

Part A Review Constants | Periodic Table Learning Goal: To understand how buffers use reserves of conjugate acid and conjugate base to counteract the effects of acid or base addition on pH. A buffer is a mixture of a conjugate acid-base pair. In other words, it is a solution that contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. For example, an acetic acid buffer consists of acetic acid, CH3COOH, and its conjugate base, the acetate ion CH3COO. Because ions cannot simply be added to a solution, the conjugate base is added in a salt form (e.g., sodium acetate NaCH, COO). Buffers work because the conjugate acid-base pair work together to neutralize the addition of H+ or OH ions. Thus, for example, if H+ ions are added to the acetate buffer described above, they will be largely removed from solution by the reaction of H+ with the conjugate base: H++ CH3COO→CH3COOH Similarly, any added OH ions will be neutralized by a reaction with the conjugate acid: OH +…
