Question

1) Determine the molar solubility of BaF2 in pure water. Ksp for BaF2 = 2.45 x 10^-5.

2) Define buffer capacity.

Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer without destroying its effectiveness.

Buffer capacity is the amount of acid that can be added until all of the base is used up.

Buffer capacity is the amount of base that can be added until all of the acid is used up.

Buffer capacity is the amount of acid that can be added until all of the acid is used up.

e. Buffer capacity is the amount of base that can be added until all of the base is used up.

Explanation / Answer

1)in pure water :
BaF2 (s) <-------> Ba(2+) (aq) + 2F(-) (aq)
let the solubility of BaF2 be s moles/L ...the the solution will contain s moles of Ba(2+) and 2s moles of F(-) ions respectively per litre ...hence the solubility product Ksp of BaF2 would be given by the expression :
Ksp = [Ba2+] [F-]^2
Ksp = s(2s)^2 = s X 4s^2 = 4s^3
but the given value of Ksp is 2.45 X 10^-5
so 4s^3 = 2.45 X 10^-5
s^3 = 2.45 X 10^-5/4 = 6.125 X 10^-6
s = 1.83 X 10^-2 mole/L
