A beaker with 105 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 5.70 mL of a 0.480 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740.
Answer
∆pH = - 0.46
Explanation
Henderson-Hasselblach equation is
pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])
5.000 = 4.740 + log( [CH3COO-] /[CH3OOH])
log([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH]) = 0.26
[CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH] = 1.820
[CH3COO-] = 1.820 × [CH3COOH]
moles of CH3COO- = 1.820 × moles of CH3COOH
moles of buffer = (0.100mol/1000ml) × 105ml = 0.0105mol
moles of CH3COO- + moles of CH3COOH = 0.0105mol
1.820 × moles of CH3COOH + moles of CH3COOH = 0.0105mol
2.820× moles of CH3COOH = 0.0105mol
moles of CH3COOH = 0.003723mol
moles of CH3COO- = 0.0105mol - 0.003723mol = 0.006777mol
moles of HCl added = ( 0.480mol/1000ml) × 5.70ml = 0.002736mol
HCl react with conjucate base , CH3COO-
CH3COO- + H+ ------> CH3COOH
1:1molar reaction
0.002736moles of HCl react with 0.002736moles of CH3COO- to give 0.002736 moles of CH3COOH
After addition of HCl
moles of CH3COO- = 0.006777mol - 0.002736mol = 0.004041mol
moles of CH3COOH = 0.003723mol + 0.002736mol = 0.006459mol
Total volume = 105ml + 5.70ml = 110.7ml
[CH3COOH] = ( 0.006459mol/110.7ml)×1000ml = 0.05835M
[CH3COO-] = ( 0.004041mol/110.7ml) × 1000ml = 0.03650M
Applying Henderson - Hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa + log(0.03650M/0.05835M)
pH = 4.74 - 20
pH = 4.54
∆pH = 4.54 - 5.00 = - 0.46
