And so it's moles dividedīy liters, divided by moles, divided by liters. Because we have concentrationĭivided by concentration, and concentration, molarity, Of the conjugate base, I didn't really have to, if you look at the And notice that even though IĬalculated the concentration of the weak acid and Therefore, for this buffer solution, the pH is just equal to 4.74. Molars cancel and 0.33 dividedīy 0.33 is equal to one. Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, and the concentration of our weak acid is also 0.33 molar. The acetate anion is our conjugated base and it has a concentration of 0.33 molar, so we can plug that into the And at 25 degrees Celsius, the pKa value of aceticĪcid is equal to 4.74. The weak acid present in ourīuffer solution is acetic acid. Of the concentration of the conjugate baseĭivided by the concentration of the weak acid.

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation says the pH of the buffer solution is equal to the pKa of the weak acid plus the log of the ratio To find the pH of the buffer solution, we can use the We also have 0.050 moles, and the total volume of So 0.050 moles divided by 0.150 liters gives the concentration ofĪcetic acid a 0.33 molar. We already calculated when we mix the two solutions together, the total volume was 150 milliliters which is equal to 0.150 liters. To find the concentration of acetic acid, we take the moles of aceticĪcid which is equal to 0.050, and we divide by the So first, we need toĬalculate the concentration of acetic acid and of the acetate anion. Remember that our goal was to calculate the pH The strong base, hydroxide, which neutralized half of the acetic acid created a buffer solution because we have significantĪmounts of both acetic acid and its conjugate base, theĪcetate anion, in solution. Acetic acid is a weak acidĪnd its conjugate base is the acetate anion. Of significant amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate base. So when the reaction goes to completion, we have 0.050 moles of the acetate anion. Therefore, if we're losing 0.050 on the left side of the equation, we're gonna be gainingĠ.050 on the right side. For the acetate anion, the coefficient in theīalanced equation is a one.

Has been neutralized by the hydroxide anions, and we're left with 0.050 moles when the reaction goes to completion. We started with 0.100 and we're losing 0.050, half of the acetic acid So when the reaction goes to completion, all of the hydroxideĪnions have been used up. Therefore, if we are losingĠ.050 moles of hydroxide anions, we're also losing 0.050

Looking at the balanced equation, the mole ratio of a aceticĪcid to hydroxide anion is one-to-one. For this reaction, the hydroxide anion is Moles of the acetate anion would be zero. Reaction hasn't happened yet, the initial number of Moles of hydroxide anions is equal to 0.050. The initial number of moles of acetic acid is equal to 0.100, and the initial number of To figure out what's left over after the reaction goes to completion, we're gonna use an ICF table, where I stands for initial, C is for change, and F is for final. With hydroxide anions to form the acetate anion and water. And when the two solutions are mixed, the acetic acid will react Let me just go ahead and write that down here really quickly. With 50 milliliters for a total volume of 150 milliliters. Solutions are mixed, we're mixing 100 milliliters Sodium cations in solution and also hydroxide anions in solution. Moles of sodium hydroxide, we also have 0.050 moles of Since sodium hydroxide is a strong base, it dissociates completely in solution. So solving for x, we find the x is equal to 0.050 So we plug in the concentration 1.00 molar into the equation for molarity, and we plug in the volume, and 50 milliliters isĮqual to 0.050 liters. Of sodium hydroxide, we have 50 milliliters of it at a concentration of 1.00 molar. We can do a similar calculation to determine the moles of strong base.

Since the concentration is 1.00 molar and the volume is 100 milliliters, which is equal to 0.100 liters, x is equal to 0.100 moles of acetic acid. Moles divided by liters to figure out the moles of acetic acid. Of a 1.00 molar solution of acetic acid, we can use the equation: molarity is equal to Our first step is toįigure out how many moles of acetic acid that we have. PH of the buffer solution that forms when we mix these In the first method, we're gonna add an aqueous solution of a strong base, sodium hydroxide, to an aqueous solution ofĪ weak acid, acetic acid. At two different methods for preparing buffer solutions.
