What ratio of CH;NH2 to CH;NH3* is needed to prepare a pH 9.70 buffer? (Kb for CH;NH, is 4.4 × 10-4)

A 10.00-g sample of the ionic compound NaA, where A is the anion of a weak acid, was dissolved in enough water to make 100.0 mL of solution and was then titrated with 0.100 M HCl. After 500.0 mL HCl was added, the pH was 5.00. The experimenter found that 1.00 L of 0.100 M HCl was required to reach the stoichiometric point of the titration. a. What is the molar mass of NaA? b. Calculate the pH of the solution at the stoichiometric point of the titration.

What mass of NH4Cl must be added to 0.750 L of a 0.100-M solution of NH3 to give a buffer solution with a pH of 9.26? (Him: Assume a negligible change in volume as the solid is added.)

Amino acids are an important group of compounds. At low pH, both the carboxylic acid group (CO2H) and the amine group (NHR) are protonated. However, as the pH of the solution increases (say, by adding base), the carboxylic acid proton is removed, usually at a pH between 2 and 3. In a middle range of pHs, therefore, the amine group is protonated, but the carboxylic acid group has lost the proton. (This is called a zwitterion.) At more basic pH values, the amine proton is dissociated. What is the pH of a 0.20 M solution of alanine hydrochloride, [NH3CHCH3CO2H]Cl?

A 0.210-g sample of an acid (molar mass = 192 g/mol) is titrated with 30.5 mL of 0.108 M NaOH to a phenolphthalein end point. Is the acid monoprotic, diprotic, or triprotic?

A good buffer generally contains relatively equal concentrations of weak acid and conjugate base. If you wanted to buffer a solution at pH = 4.00 or pH = 10.00, how would you decide which weak acidconjugate base or weak baseconjugate acid pair to use? The second characteristic of a good buffer is good buffering capacity. What is the capacity of a buffer? How do the following buffers differ in capacity? How do they differ in pH? 0.01 M acetic acid/0.01 M sodium acetate 0.1 M acetic acid/0.1 M sodium acetate 1.0 M acetic acid/1.0 M sodium acetate

A buffer is prepared in which the ratio [ H2PO4 ]/[ HPO42 ]is 3.0. (a) What is the pH of this buffer? (b) Enough strong acid is added to convert 15% of HPO42- to H2PO4-. What is the pH of the resulting solution? (c) Enough strong base is added to make the pH 7.00. What is the ratio of [H2PO4-] to [HPO42-] at this point?

A diprotic acid, H2B(MM=126g/moL), is determined to be a hydrate, H2B xH2O. A 10.00-g sample of this hydrate is dissolved in enough water to make 150.0 mL of solution. Twenty-five milliliters of this solution requires 48.5 mL of 0.425 M NaOH to reach the equivalence point. What is x?

8-55 We commonly refer to a buffer as consisting of approximately equal molar amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate base—for example, CH3COOH and CH3COO-. Is it also possible to have a buffer consisting of approximately equal molar amounts of a weak base and its conjugate acid? Explain.
