The Danger of Antifreeze• Each year, thousands of pets and wildlife

species die from consuming antifreeze

• Most brands of antifreeze contain ethylene

Why Is Glycolic Acid Toxic?• If present in high enough concentration in the

bloodstream, glycolic acid overwhelms the

buffering ability of the HCO3− in the blood,

causing the blood pH to drop

• When the blood pH is low, its ability to carry O2

is compromised

acidosis

HbH+(aq) + O2(g) HbO2(aq) + H+(aq)

• One treatment is to give the patient ethyl

alcohol, which has a higher affinity for the

enzyme that catalyzes the metabolism of

ethylene glycol 3Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Buffers

• Buffers are solutions that resist changes in pH

when an acid or base is added

• They act by neutralizing acid or base that is

added to the buffered solution

• But just like everything else, there is a limit to

what they can do, and eventually the pH changes

• Many buffers are made by mixing a solution of a

weak acid with a solution of soluble salt

containing its conjugate base anion

blood has a mixture of H2CO3 and HCO3−

How Acid Buffers Work:

Addition of Base

HA(aq) + H2O(l) A−(aq) + H3O

+(aq)

• Buffers work by applying Le Châtelier’s Principle

to weak acid equilibrium

• Buffer solutions contain significant amounts of the

weak acid molecules, HA

• These molecules react with added base to

neutralize it

HA(aq) + OH−(aq) → A−(aq) + H2O(l)

you can also think of the H3O+ combining with the OH−

to make H2O; the H3O+ is then replaced by the shifting

How Acid Buffers Work:

Addition of Acid

+(aq)

• The buffer solution also contains significant amounts of the conjugate base anion, A−

• These ions combine with added acid to make more HA

H+(aq) + A−(aq) → HA(aq)

• After the equilibrium shifts, the concentration of H3O

+ is kept constant

Common Ion Effect

HA(aq) + H2O(l) A−(aq) + H3O

+(aq)

• Adding a salt containing the anion NaA, which

is the conjugate base of the acid (the common

ion), shifts the position of equilibrium to the left

• This causes the pH to be higher than the pH of

the acid solution

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

• Calculating the pH of a buffer solution can be

simplified by using an equation derived from

the Ka expression called the Henderson-

Hasselbalch Equation

• The equation calculates the pH of a buffer

from the pKa and initial concentrations of the

weak acid and salt of the conjugate base

as long as the “x is small” approximation is valid

Do I Use the Full Equilibrium Analysis or

the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation?• The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

generally good enough when the “x is small” approximation is applicable

• Generally, the “x is small” approximation will work when both of the following are true:

a) the initial concentrations of acid and salt are not very dilute

b) the Ka is fairly small

• For most problems, this means that the initial acid and salt concentrations should be over 100 to 1000x larger than the value of Ka

32Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e

Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

How Much Does the pH of a Buffer

Change When an Acid or Base Is Added?• Though buffers do resist change in pH when acid

or base is added to them, their pH does change

• Calculating the new pH after adding acid or base requires breaking the problem into two parts

1. a stoichiometry calculation for the reaction of the added chemical with one of the ingredients of the buffer to reduce its initial concentration and increase the concentration of the other added acid reacts with the A− to make more HA

added base reacts with the HA to make more A−

2. an equilibrium calculation of [H3O+] using the new

initial values of [HA] and [A−]

Buffering Effectiveness

• A good buffer should be able to neutralize moderate amounts of added acid or base

• However, there is a limit to how much can be added before the pH changes significantly

• The buffering capacity is the amount of acid or base a buffer can neutralize

• The buffering range is the pH range the buffer can be effective

• The effectiveness of a buffer depends on two factors (1) the relative amounts of acid and base, and (2) the absolute concentrations of acid and base

Buffering Range• We have said that a buffer will be effective when

0.1 < [base]:[acid] < 10

• Substituting into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation we can calculate the maximum and minimum pH at which the buffer will be effective

Lowest pH Highest pH

Therefore, the effective pH range of a buffer is pKa ± 1

When choosing an acid to make a buffer, choose

one whose is pKa closest to the pH of the buffer

Buffering Capacity• Buffering capacity is the amount of acid or base

that can be added to a buffer without causing a large change in pH

• The buffering capacity increases with increasing absolute concentration of the buffer components

• As the [base]:[acid] ratio approaches 1, the ability of the buffer to neutralize both added acid and base improves

• Buffers that need to work mainly with added acid generally have [base] > [acid]

• Buffers that need to work mainly with added base generally have [acid] > [base]

Titration of a Weak Acid with a Strong Base• Titrating a weak acid with a strong base results in

differences in the titration curve at the equivalence

point and excess acid region

• The initial pH is determined using the Ka of the

weak acid

• The pH in the excess acid region is determined as

you would determine the pH of a buffer

• The pH at the equivalence point is determined

using the Kb of the conjugate base of the weak acid

• The pH after equivalence is dominated by the

excess strong base

Monitoring pH During a Titration

• The general method for monitoring the pH during

the course of a titration is to measure the

conductivity of the solution due to the [H3O+]

using a probe that specifically measures just H3O+

• The endpoint of the titration is reached at the

equivalence point in the titration – at the inflection

point of the titration curve

• If you just need to know the amount of titrant

added to reach the endpoint, we often monitor the

titration with an indicator

Solubility• Addition of a soluble salt that contains one of

the ions of the “insoluble” salt, decreases the

solubility of the “insoluble” salt

• For example, addition of NaCl to the solubility

equilibrium of solid PbCl2 decreases the

solubility of PbCl2

PbCl2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2 Cl−(aq)

addition of Cl− shifts the

equilibrium to the left

The Effect of pH on Solubility

• For insoluble ionic hydroxides, the higher the pH,

the lower the solubility of the ionic hydroxide

and the lower the pH, the higher the solubility

higher pH = increased [OH−]

• For insoluble ionic compounds that contain anions

of weak acids, the lower the pH, the higher the

solubility

Precipitation

• Precipitation will occur when the concentrations of the ions exceed the solubility of the ionic compound

• If we compare the reaction quotient, Q, for the current solution concentrations to the value of Ksp, we can determine if precipitation will occurQ = Ksp, the solution is saturated, no precipitation

Q < Ksp, the solution is unsaturated, no precipitation

Q > Ksp, the solution would be above saturation, the salt above saturation will precipitate

• Some solutions with Q > Ksp will not precipitate unless disturbed – these are called supersaturated solutions

141Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

precipitation

occurs if Q > Ksp

a supersaturated solution will

Selective Precipitation

• A solution containing several different cations

can often be separated by addition of a reagent

that will form an insoluble salt with one of the

ions, but not the others

• A successful reagent can precipitate with more

than one of the cations, as long as their Ksp

values are significantly different
