Determine the pH change when 0.100 mol HCl is added to 1.00 L of a buffer solution that is 0.410 M in HCN and 0.337 M in CN-.

pH after addition ? pH before addition = pH change =

Explanation / Answer

1) before

pH = 1/2(pka-logC)

pka of HNO2 = 3.15

C = concentration of HNO2 = 0.0842 M

pH = 1/2(3.15-log0.0842) = 2.112

after addition of KOH

pH = pka + log(KNO2/HNO2)

no of mol of KNO2 = 0.124 mol

no of mol of HNO2 = 0.77*0.0842 = 0.065 mol

pH = 3.15+log(0.124/0.065) = 3.43

1.1) CONCENTRATION of NH3 taKen(base) = 0.323 M

CONCENTRATION of NH4+ added(acid) = 0.115 M


pH of basic buffer = 14-(pkb+log(acid/base))

pkb of NH3 = -lohKb = -log(1.8*10^-5) = 4.74

pH = 14-(4.74+log(0.115/0.323)) = 9.7

1.2)

   pH = pka2 + log(CO32-/HCO3-)

pka2 of H2CO3 = 10.33

[co32-] = 0.231 M

[HCO3-] = 0.407 M

pH = 10.33+log(0.231/0.407) = 10.08

1.3)

   pH = pka + log(CN-/HCN)

pka of HCN = 9.31

pH = 9.31+log(0.337/0.41) = 9.225

after addition of HCl

pH = pka + log((CN- - HCl)/(HCN+Hcl))

    = 9.31+log((0.337-0.1)/(0.41+0.1))

    = 8.98

change in pH = 9.225-8.98 = 0.245
