Acid-Base Buffers
An acid-base buffer is a solution that lessens the impact of
pH from the addition of acid or base.
An acid-base buffer usually consists of a conjugate acidbase pair where both species are present in appreciable
quantities in solution.
An acid-base buffer is therefore a solution of a weak acid
and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its
conjugate acid.

The addition of 1 mL of strong acid (left)
or strong base (right) changes the pH by
several units.

The effect of adding acid or base to a buffered
solution.
A 100-mL sample of
an acetate buffer is
adjusted to pH 5.00.
The addition of 1 mL of strong acid (left)
or strong base (right) changes the pH very
little.
The acetate buffer is made by mixing 1 mol/L CH3COOH ( a weak acid)
with 1 mol/L CH3COONa (which provides the conjugate base, CH3COO-).
19-6
Buffers and the Common-ion Effect
A buffer works through the common-ion effect.
Acetic acid in water dissociates slightly to produce some
acetate ion:
CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l)
acetic acid
CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
acetate ion
If NaCH3COO is added, it provides a source of
CH3COO- ion, and the equilibrium shifts to the left.
CH3COO- is common to both solutions.
The addition of CH3COO- reduces the % dissociation of
the acid.

How a Buffer Works
The buffer components (HA and A-) are able to consume
small amounts of added OH- or H3O+ by a shift in
equilibrium position.
CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l)
Added OH- reacts with
CH3COOH, causing a shift to
the right.
CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Added H3O+ reacts with
CH3COO-, causing a
shift to the left.
The shift in equilibrium position absorbs the change in
[H3O+] or [OH-], and the pH changes only slightly.

Sample Problem 19.1
Calculating the Effect of Added H3O+ or
OH- on Buffer pH
PROBLEM: Calculate the pH:
(a) Of a buffer solution consisting of 0.50 mol/L CH3COOH and 0.50
mol/L CH3COONa
(b) After adding 0.020 mol of solid NaOH to 1.0 L of the buffer solution
(c) After adding 0.020 mol of HCl to 1.0 L of the buffer solution in (a).
Ka of CH3COOH = 1.8 x 10-5. (Assume the additions cause a negligible
change in volume.)
PLAN: We can calculate [CH3COOH]init and [CH3COO-]init from the
given information. From this we can find the starting pH. For (b) and (c)
we assume that the added OH- or H3O+ reacts completely with the
buffer components. We write a balanced equation in each case, set up
a reaction table, and calculate the new [H3O+].

Buffer Capacity
The buffer capacity is a measure of the “strength” of the
buffer, its ability to maintain the pH following addition of
strong acid or base.
The greater the concentrations of the buffer
components, the greater its capacity to resist pH
changes.
The closer the component concentrations are to each
other, the greater the buffer capacity.
19-19
Figure 19.4
The relation between buffer capacity and pH change.
When strong base is
added, the pH increases
least for the most
concentrated buffer.
This graph shows the final pH values for four different buffer solutions after
the addition of strong base.
19-20
Buffer Range
The buffer range is the pH range over which the buffer is
effective.
Buffer range is related to the ratio of buffer component
concentrations.
[HA]
The closer - is to 1, the more effective the buffer.
[A ]
If one component is more than 10 times the other, buffering
action is poor. Since log10 = 1, buffers have a usable
range within ± 1 pH unit of the pKa of the acid
component.
19-21
Sample Problem 19.2
Using Molecular Scenes to Examine Buffers
PROBLEM: The molecular scenes below represent samples of four
HA/A- buffers. (HA is blue and green, A- is green, and
other ions and water are not shown.)
(a) Which buffer has the highest pH?
(b) Which buffer has the greatest capacity?
(c) Should we add a small amount of concentrated strong acid or
strong base to convert sample 1 to sample 2 (assuming no volume
changes)?
19-22
Sample Problem 19.2
PLAN: Since the volumes of the solutions are equal, the scenes
represent molarities as well as numbers. We count the particles
of each species present in each scene and calculate the ratio
of the buffer components.
SOLUTION:
[A-]/[HA] ratios: sample 1, 3/3 = 1; sample 2, 2/4 = 0.5; sample 3,
4/4 = 1; and sample 4, 4/2 = 2.
19-23
Sample Problem 19.2
(a)
As the pH rises, more HA will be converted to A-. The scene with
the highest [A-]/[HA] ratio is at the highest pH. Sample 4 has the
highest pH because it has the highest ratio.
(b) The buffer with the greatest capacity is the one with the [A-]/[HA]
closest to 1. Sample 3 has the greatest buffer capacity.
(c)
19-24
Sample 2 has a lower [A-]/[HA] ratio than sample 1, so we need to
increase the [A-] and decrease the [HA]. This is achieved by
adding strong acid to sample 1.
Preparing a Buffer
• Choose the conjugate acid-base pair.
– The pKa of the weak acid component should be close to the
desired pH.
• Calculate the ratio of buffer component concentrations.
[base]
pH = pKa + log
[acid]
• Determine the buffer concentration, and calculate the
required volume of stock solutions and/or masses of
components.
• Mix the solution and correct the pH.

Sample Problem 19.3
Preparing a Buffer
PROBLEM: An environmental chemist needs a carbonate buffer of
pH 10.00 to study the effects of the acid rain on
limsetone-rich soils. How many grams of Na2CO3 must
she add to 1.5 L of freshly prepared 0.20 mol/L NaHCO3
to make the buffer? Ka of HCO3- is 4.7x10-11.
PLAN: The conjugate pair is HCO3- (acid) and CO32- (base), and we
know both the buffer volume and the concentration of HCO3-.
We can calculate the ratio of components that gives a pH of
10.00, and hence the mass of Na2CO3 that must be added to
make 1.5 L of solution.

The chemist should dissolve 15 g Na2CO3 in about 1.3 L of 0.20 mol/L
NaHCO3 and add more 0.20 mol/L NaHCO3 to make 1.5 L. Using a
pH meter, she can then adjust the pH to 10.00 by dropwise addition of
concentrated strong acid or base.
19-27
Acid-Base Indicators
An acid-base indicator is a weak organic acid (HIn)
whose color differs from that of its conjugate base (In-).
The ratio [HIn]/[In-] is governed by the [H3O+] of the
solution. Indicators can therefore be used to monitor the
pH change during an acid-base reaction.
The color of an indicator changes over a specific,
narrow pH range, a range of about 2 pH units.

Acid-Base Titrations
In an acid-base titration, the concentration of an acid (or a
base) is determined by neutralizing the acid (or base) with
a solution of base (or acid) of known concentration.
The equivalence point of the reaction occurs when the
number of moles of OH- added equals the number of
moles of H3O+ originally present, or vice versa.
The end point occurs when the indicator changes color.
- The indicator should be selected so that its color change occurs at a
pH close to that of the equivalence point.

Example:
40.00 mL of 0.1000 mol/L HCl is titrated with 0.1000 mol/L NaOH.
The initial pH is simply the pH of the HCl solution:
[H3O+] = [HCl]init = 0.1000 mol/L and pH = -log(0.1000) = 1.00
To calculate the pH after 20.00 mL of NaOH solution has been added:
Initial mol of H3O+ = 0.04000 L HCl x 0.1000 mol = 4.000x10-3 mol H3O+
1L
OH- added = 0.02000 L NaOH x 0.1000 mol = 2.000x10-3 mol OH1L
The OH- ions react with an equal amount of H3O+ ions, so
H3O+ remaining = 4.000x10-3 – 2.000x10-3 = 2.000x10-3 mol H3O+

pH = -log(0.03333) = 1.48
The equivalence point occurs when mol of OH- added = initial mol of
HCl, so when 40.00 mL of NaOH has been added.
To calculate the pH after 50.00 mL of NaOH solution has been added:
OH- added = 0.05000 L NaOH x 0.1000 mol = 5.000x10-3 mol OH1L
OH- in excess = 5.000x10-3 – 4.000x10-3 = 1.000x10-3 mol OH[OH-]
=
1.000x10-3 mol
= 0.01111 mol/L

Finding the pH During a Weak Acid–
Strong Base Titration
PROBLEM: Calculate the pH during the titration of 40.00 mL of 0.1000
mol/L propanoic acid (HPr; Ka = 1.3x10-5) after adding the
following volumes of 0.1000 mol/L NaOH:
(a) 0.00 mL (b) 30.00 mL (c) 40.00 mL (d) 50.00 mL
PLAN: The initial pH must be calculated using the Ka value for the weak
acid. We then calculate the number of moles of HPr present
initially and the number of moles of OH- added. Once we know
the volume of base required to reach the equivalence point we
can calculate the pH based on the species present in solution.

Amino Acids as Polyprotic Acids
An amino acid contains a weak base (-NH2) and a weak
acid (-COOH) in the same molecule.
Both groups are protonated at low pH and the amino
acid behaves like a polyprotic acid.

anemia.
Several amino acids have
charged R groups in addition
to the NH2 and COOH group.
These are essential to the
normal structure of many
proteins.
In sickle cell anemia, the
hemoglobin has two amino
acids with neutral R groups
instead of charged groups. The
abnormal hemoglobin causes
the red blood cells to have a
sickle shape, as seen here.

Equilibria of Slightly Soluble Ionic Compounds
Any “insoluble” ionic compound is actually slightly
soluble in aqueous solution.
We assume that the very small amount of such a compound that
dissolves will dissociate completely.
For a slightly soluble ionic compound in water, equilibrium
exists between solid solute and aqueous ions.

Qsp and Ksp
Qsp is called the ion-product expression for a slightly
soluble ionic compound.
For any slightly soluble compound MpXq, which consists
of ions Mn+ and Xz-,
Qsp = [Mn+]p[Xz-]q
When the solution is saturated, the system is at equilibrium,
and Qsp = Ksp, the solubility product constant.
The Ksp value of a salt indicates how far the dissolution
proceeds at equilibrium (saturation).
19-49
Metal Sulfides
Metal sulfides behave differently from most other slightly
soluble ionic compounds, since the S2- ion is strongly
basic.
We can think of the dissolution of a metal sulfide as a
two-step process:
MnS(s)
Mn2+(aq) + S2-(aq)
S2-(aq) + H2O(l) → HS-(aq) + OH-(aq)
MnS(s) + H2O(l)

Sample Problem 19.6
Determining Ksp from Solubility
PROBLEM: (a) Lead(II) sulfate (PbSO4) is a key component in leadacid car batteries. Its solubility in water at 25°C is
4.25x10-3 g/100 mL solution. What is the Ksp of
PbSO4?
(b) When lead(II) fluoride (PbF2) is shaken with pure
water at 25°C, the solubility is found to be 0.64 g/L.
Calculate the Ksp of PbF2.
PLAN: We write the dissolution equation and the ion-product
expression for each compound. This tells us the number of
moles of each ion formed. We use the molar mass to convert
the solubility of the compound to molar solubility (molarity),
then use it to find the molarity of each ion, which we can
substitute into the Ksp expression.
19-54
Sample Problem 19.6
SOLUTION:
(a)
PbSO4(s)
Pb2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
Ksp = [Pb2+][SO42-]

4.25x10-3g PbSO4 x 1000 mL x 1 mol PbSO4
100 mL soln
1L
303.3 g PbSO4
= 1.40x10-4 mol/L PbSO4
Each mol of PbSO4 produces 1 mol of Pb2+ and 1 mol of SO42-, so
[Pb2+] = [SO42-] = 1.40x10-4 mol/L
Ksp = [Pb2+][SO42-] = (1.40x10-4)2 = 1.96x10-8

1 L soln
245.2 g PbF2
= 2.6x10-3 mol/L PbF2
Each mol of PbF2 produces 1 mol of Pb2+ and 2 mol of F-, so
[Pb2+] = 2.6x10-3 mol/L and [F-] = 2(2.6x10-3) = 5.2x10-3 mol/L
Ksp = [Pb2+][F-]2 = (2.6x10-3)(5.2x10-3)2

Sample Problem 19.7
Determining Solubility from Ksp
PROBLEM: Calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) is a major component of
mortar, plaster, and cement, and solutions of Ca(OH)2
are used in industry as a strong, inexpensive base.
Calculate the molar solubility of Ca(OH)2 in water if the
Ksp is 6.5x10-6.
PLAN: We write the dissolution equation and the expression for Ksp.
We know the value of Ksp, so we set up a reaction table that
expresses [Ca2+] and [OH-] in terms of S, the molar solubility.
We then substitute these expressions into the Ksp expression
and solve for S.

Sample Problem 19.8
Calculating the Effect of a Common Ion
on Solubility
PROBLEM: In Sample Problem 19.7, we calculated the solubility of
Ca(OH)2 in water. What is its solubility in 0.10 mol/L
Ca(NO3)2? Ksp of Ca(OH)2 is 6.5x10-6.
PLAN: The addition of Ca2+, an ion common to both solutions, should
lower the solubility of Ca(OH)2. We write the equation and Ksp
expression for the dissolution and set up a reaction table in
terms of S, the molar solubility of Ca(OH)2. We make the
assumption that S is small relative to [Ca2+]init because Ksp is
low. We can then solve for S and check the assumption.

Effect of pH on Solubility
Changes in pH affects the solubility of many slightly
soluble ionic compounds.
The addition of H3O+ will increase the solubility of a salt
that contains the anion of a weak acid.
CaCO3(s)
Ca2+(aq) + CO32-(aq)
CO32-(aq) + H3O+(aq) → HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l)
HCO3-(aq) + H3O+(aq) → [H2CO3(aq)] + H2O(l) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
The net effect of adding H3O+ to CaCO3 is the removal
of CO32- ions, which causes an equilibrium shift to the
right. More CaCO3 will dissolve.

Sample Problem 19.9
Predicting the Effect on Solubility of
Adding Strong Acid
PROBLEM: Write balanced equations to explain whether addition of
H3O+ from a strong acid affects the solubility of each ionic
compound:
(a) lead(II) bromide (b) copper(II) hydroxide
(c) iron(II) sulfide
PLAN: We write the balanced dissolution equation for each compound
and note the anion. The anion of a weak acid reacts with H3O+,
causing an increase in solubility.
SOLUTION:
(a)
PbBr2(s)
Pb2+(aq) + 2Br-(aq)
Br- is the anion of HBr, a strong acid, so it does not react with H3O+. The
addition of strong acid has no effect on its solubility.
19-65
Sample Problem 19.9
(b)
Cu(OH)2(s)
Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)
OH- is the anion of H2O, a very weak acid, and is in fact a strong base. It
will react with H3O+:
OH-(aq) + H3O+(aq) → 2H2O(l)
The addition of strong acid will cause an increase in solubility.
(c)
FeS(s)
Fe2+(aq) + S2-(aq)
S2- is the anion of HS-, a weak acid, and is a strong base. It will react
completely with water to form HS- and OH-. Both these ions will react
with added H3O+:
HS-(aq) + H3O+(aq) → H2S(aq) + H2O(l)
OH-(aq) + H3O+(aq) → 2H2O(l)
The addition of strong acid will cause an increase in solubility.

Limestone is mostly CaCO3 (Ksp = 3.3x10-9).
Ground water rich in CO2 trickles over

gradually carves out a cave.
Water containing HCO3- and Ca2+ ions
drips from the cave ceiling. The air has
a lower PCO than the soil, causing CO2

to come out of solution. A shift in

of CaCO3 to form stalagmites and

Predicting the Formation of a Precipitate
For a saturated solution of a slightly soluble ionic salt,
Qsp = Ksp.
When two solutions containing the ions of slightly soluble
salts are mixed,
If Qsp = Ksp,
the solution is saturated and no change will occur.
If Qsp > Ksp,
a precipitate will form until the remaining solution is saturated.
If Qsp =< Ksp,
no precipitate will form because the solution is unsaturated.
19-68
Sample Problem 19.10
Predicting Whether a Precipitate Will
Form
PROBLEM: A common laboratory method for preparing a precipitate is
to mix solutions containing the component ions. Does a
precipitate form when 0.100 L of 0.30 mol/L Ca(NO3)2 is
mixed with 0.200 L of 0.060 mol/L NaF?
PLAN: First we need to decide which slightly soluble salt could form,
look up its Ksp value in Appendix C, and write the dissolution
equation and Ksp expression. We find the initial ion
concentrations from the given volumes and molarities of the
two solutions, calculate the value for Qsp and compare it to Ksp.
SOLUTION:
The ions present are Ca2+, NO3-, Na+, and F-. All Na+ and NO3- salts are
soluble, so the only possible precipitate is CaF2 (Ksp = 3.2x10-11).

We need to calculate [Ca2+] and [F-] in the final solution.

Qsp = [Ca2+]init[F-]2init = (0.10)(0.040)2 = 1.6x10-4
Since Qsp > Ksp, CaF2 will precipitate until Qsp = 3.2x10-11.

Sample Problem 19.11
Using Molecular Scenes to Predict
Whether a Precipitate Will Form
PROBLEM: These four scenes represent solutions of silver (gray) and
carbonate (black and red) ions above solid silver
carbonate. (The solid, other ions, and water are not
shown.)
(a)
Which scene best represents the solution in equilibrium with the
solid?
(b) In which, if any, other scene(s) will additional solid silver
carbonate form?
(c) Explain how, if at all, addition of a small volume of concentrated
strong acid affects the [Ag+] in scene 4 and the mass of solid
present.
19-71
Sample Problem 19.11
PLAN: We need to determine the ratio of the different types of ion in
each solution. A saturated solution of Ag2CO3 should have
2Ag+ ions for every 1 CO32- ion. For (b) we need to compare
Qsp to Ksp. For (c) we recall that CO32- reacts with H3O+.
SOLUTION:
First we determine the Ag+/CO32- ratios for each scene.
Scene 1: 2/4 or 1/2
Scene 2: 3/3 or 1/1
Scene 3: 4/2 or 2/1
Scene 4: 3/4
(a) Scene 3 is the only one that has an Ag+/CO32- ratio of 2/1, so this
scene represents the solution in equilibrium with the solid.
19-72
Sample Problem 19.11
(b) We use the ion count for each solution to determine Qsp for each
one. Since Scene 3 is at equilibrium, its Qsp value = Ksp.
Scene 1: Qsp = (2)2(4) = 16
Scene 2: Qsp = (3)2(3) = 27
Scene 3: Qsp = (4)2(2) = 32
Scene 4: Qsp = (3)2(4) = 36
Scene 4 is the only one that has Qsp > Ksp, so a precipitate forms in
this solution.
(c) Ag2CO3(s)
2Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq)
CO32-(aq) + 2H3O+(aq) → [H2CO3(aq)] + 2H2O(l) → 3H2O(l) + CO2(g)
The CO2 leaves as a gas, so adding H3O+ decreases the [CO32-] in
solution, causing more Ag2CO3 to dissolve.
[Ag+] increases and the mass of Ag2CO3 decreases.
19-73
Selective Precipitation
Selective precipitation is used to separate a solution
containing a mixture of ions.
A precipitating ion is added to the solution until the Qsp
of the more soluble compound is almost equal to its Ksp.
The less soluble compound will precipitate in as large a
quantity as possible, leaving behind the ion of the more
soluble compound.
19-74
Sample Problem 19.12
Separating Ions by Selective Precipitation
PROBLEM: A solution consists of 0.20 mol/L MgCl2 and 0.10 mol/L
CuCl2. Calculate the [OH-] that would separate the metal
ions as their hydroxides. Ksp of Mg(OH)2= is 6.3x10-10;
Ksp of Cu(OH)2 is 2.2x10-20.
PLAN: Both compounds have 1/2 ratios of cation/anion, so we can
compare their solubilities by comparing their Ksp values.
Mg(OH)2 is 1010 times more soluble than Cu(OH)2, so
Cu(OH)2 will precipitate first. We write the dissolution
equations and Ksp expressions. Using the given cation
concentrations, we solve for the [OH-] that gives a saturated
solution of Mg(OH)2. Then we calculate the [Cu2+] remaining
to see if the separation was successful.
19-75

Zn(H2O)42+ and 25.0 L of 0.15 mol/L NH3. What is the
final [Zn(H2O)42+] at equilibrium? Kf of Zn(NH3)42+ is
7.8x108.

a reaction table to calculate equilibrium concentrations. To set
up the table, we must first find [Zn(H2O)42+]init and [NH3]init
using the given volumes and molarities. With a large excess

PROBLEM: In black-and-white film developing, excess AgBr is
