    $$K_a=\frac{[NO_2^-][H_3O^+]}{[HNO_2]}=7.2\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{0.150-x}$$

    Through a successful approximation:

    $$x \approx 0.01004\; M=[H_3O^+]$$

    Thus \(pH \approx -\log(0.01004) = 2.0\)

    When 0.150 mol \(LiNO_2\) is added to 1.00 L of a 0.150 M \(HNO_2\), a solution with \([NO_2^-] = 0.150\ M = [HNO_2]\) is formed. To find the change in the pH we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch approximation at equilibrium

    $$pH=pK_a=-\log(7.2 \times 10^{-4} ) =3.14$$

    Thus the addition has caused \(pH\) to increase by 1.14

    b) \(LiNO_3\) contributes nitrate ions to the solution. Since there is no molecular \(HNO_{3(aq)}\) in equilibrium with the hydrogen and nitrate ions, there is no equilibrium to be shifted by the addition of the nitrate ions. Thus, the \([H_3O^+]\) and the \(pH\) are not affected by the addition of \(LiNO_3\) to the solution. The \(pH\) changes are not the same because unlike the first solution, the second solution does not have an equilibrium to shift, just a total ionic strength.

    S4

    a) The \(pH\) of the solution can be determined by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

    $$pH=pK_a+ log\frac{[ClO_2^-]}{[HClO_2]}=-log(1.1\times 10^{-2}) +log\frac{(\frac{7.25\ mmol}{50.0\ mL})}{(\frac{12.5\ mmol}{50.0\ mL})}$$

    The buffer’s capacity has been exceeded. The excess strong acid present determines the pH of the solution.

    $$pH=-log\ [H_3O^+]=-log(0.091)= 1.04 $$

    S5

    a) Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to determine the pH of the solution. The volume of the total solution is

    $$18.0\ mL + 72.0\ mL = 100.0\ mL$$

    $$pKa=14-pKb=14-8.82=5.18$$

    $$[C_5H_5N]=\frac{18.0\ mL\times 0.300M\ C_5H_5N}{100.0\ mL}=\frac{5.4\ mmol}{100.0\ mL}=0.054\ M$$

    $$[C_5H_5NH^+]=\frac{72.0\ mL\times 0.300M}{100.0\ mL}=0.216$$

    $$pH=pKa+log\frac{[C_5 H_5 N]}{[C_5 H_5 NH^+]}=5.18+log\frac{0.054\ M}{0.216\ M}=4.57\approx 4.60$$

    b) The solution has \([OH^- ]=10^{-9.43}=3.7\times 10^{-10}\ M\)

    The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation assumes that:

    $$[C_5 H_5 N]\ll1.5 \times 10^{-9}\ll [C_5 H_5 NH^+]$$

    If the solution is diluted to 500.00 mL, \([C_5 H_5 N]=0.0108\ M\), and \([C_5 H_5 NH^+]=4.3\times 10^{-3}\ M\). Only one of the \([C_5 H_5 N]\) is consistent with this assumption. So the pH would not remain the same.

    If the solution was diluted to 1.00ml, \([C_5 H_5 N]=0.0054\ M\), and \([C_5 H_5 NH^+]=2.2\times 10^{-3}\ M\). Again, only the \([C_5 H_5 N]\) is consistent with the assumption, so in this case as well, the \(pH\) would not remain the same.

    c) The 0.40 mL of added 1.00 \(HBr\) does not significantly change the volume of the solution. However, it does add \(0.40\ mL\times 1.00\ M\ HBr=0.40\ mmol\ H_3 O^+\). This added \(H_3O^+\) reacts with \(C_5H_5N\), decreasing its amount from \(5.4\ mmol\ C_5 H_5 N\) to \(5.0\ mmol\ C_5 H_5 N\), and increasing the amount of \(C_5 H_5 NH^+\) from \(21.6\ mmol\) to \(22\ mmol\).

    $$pH=5.18+log\frac{(\frac{5.00\ mmol\ C_5 H_5 N}{100.40\ mL})}{(\frac{22.00\ mmol C_5 H_5 NH^+}{100.40\ mL})}=4.54$$

    d) From part c) we see that the total volume of the solution does not affect the \(pOH\) of the solution as long as the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is observed. Let \(x\) represent the number of mmols of \(H_3O^+\) added, through \(1.00\ M\ HBr\). This increases \(C_5 H_5 NH^+\) and decrease \(C_5 H_5 N\).

    $$pH=4.4=5.18+log\frac{5.40-x}{21.6+x}$$

    $$log\frac{5.40-x}{21.6+x}=4.4-5.18=-0.78$$

    By inverting we get:

    $$\frac{21.6+x}{5.40-x}=10^{0.78}=6.03$$

    $$21.6+x=6.03(5.4-x)=32.6-6.03x$$

    $$x=\frac{32.6-21.6}{1.00+6.03}=1.6\ mmol\ H_3O^+$$

    $$Vol\ 1.00\ M\ HBr=1.6\ mmol\ H_3O^+ \times \frac{1\ mmol\ HBr}{1\ mmol\ H_3O^+}\times \frac{1\ mL\ soln}{1.00\ mmol\ HBr}=1.6\ mL\ 1.00\ M\ HBr$$

    Solve for the \(pK_{HIn}\) using the usual formula; \(pK_{HIn} = log(K_{HIn})\)

    The \(pH\) that gives color change is within 1 pH of this value. For example, Bromphenol Blue is an acidic indicator because, since its \(pK\) value is 3.9, it has a color change range of between 2.9 and 4.9, all acidic \(pH\) values. Furthermore, Bromthymol Blue changes in neutral solutions, and Thymolphthalein changes in basic solutions.

    What is the approximate \(pH\) of a solution that turns blue in Bromthymol Blue

    As we learned from the first problem, the Brothymol Blue is changes in neutral \(pH\) range. So, we can safely say that the \(pH\) is somewhere between 6.1 and 8.1

    S7

    1. \(Mg(OH)_2\) : This solution is basic, so the acidic indicator will show its basic color, which is blue.
    2. \(HCl\): This solution is acidic, it will show its acidic color, yellow

    A buffer solution will react with both acids and bases to prevent significant changes in \(pH\). The chlorine is a spectator ion in the ammonium chloride and is therefore irrelevant for the purposes of this question.

    $$NH_3+H_3O^+\rightleftharpoons NH_4^+ + H_2O$$

    $$NH_4^+ + OH^- \rightleftharpoons NH_3 + H_2O$$

    This is a buffer solution because based on these reactions that are occur, should either an acid or base be added.

    We can use the Henderson-Hasselbach apporximation:

    $$pK_a=-log(1.8 \times 10^{-5})= 4.745$$

    $$pK_b= 14- pK_a= 9.255$$

    $$pH= 9.255 + log (\frac{0.3}{0.4})= 9.130$$

    To find the new pH, find the number of moles of each compound using the new volume.

    • Moles \(NH_3 = 0.3\ M \times 1\ L= 0.3\ mol\)
    • Moles of \(NH_4^+= 0.4\ M \times 1\ L= 0.4\ mol\)
    • Moles of \(OH^-= 0.2\ M \times 1\ L= 0.2\ mol\)

    New number of moles using ice table and identifying limiting reactant:

    • \(0.2\ mol NH_4^+\)
    • \(0\ OH^-\)
    • \(0.1\ mol\ NH_3\)

    $$pH= 9.255 + \log ( \frac{0.1}{0.05})= 9.556$$

    From experiments 1 and 2:

    $$[HF]+[F^-]= 0.35M$$

    $$5\times (.005\ M) + [F^-] = 0.35M$$

    $$[F^-]=0.325M$$

    $$[HF]=0.025M$$

    $$[H_3O^+]=10-(pK_w-pOH)$$

    $$pOH= -log(0.5-0.325)= 0.757$$

    $$[H_3O^+]=10-(14.94-.757)= 6.56\times 10^{-15}$$

    $$K_a= \frac{[H_3O^+][F^-]}{[HF]}= 8.52989\times 10^{-14}$$

    $$pK_a= 13.07$$

    S11

    The answer is D. Since \(Na\) is a spectator ion, \(CN^-\) is left to react with the \(H_3O^+\) created from the initial \(H_2S\) reaction. This causes the reaction to shift to the right, creating more HS- ions.

    $$K_b = \frac{[NH_4^+][OH^-]}{[NH_3]} = 1.8\times 10^{-5}$$

    Solving for x using the quadratic formula,

    S70

    \(K_{Hln}\) of \(2\times 10^{-7}\). A titration between a strong acid and strong base reach an

    endpoint around a neutral \(pH\), therefore the \(K_{Hln}\) should be similar to the \(K_a\), \(1\times 10^{-7}\). An indicator with a larger \(K_{Hln}\), will be used in acidic solutions. An incidator with a smaller \(K_{Hln}\) will be used in basic solutions. Remember, a large \(K_{Hln}\) will correspond with a smaller \(pH\), which means more acidic.

    S71

    Strong acid-weak base. The endpoint is reached in a low \(pH\), because the acid fully dissociated, but the base does not.

    $$KOH: \frac{(0.05moles)}{L}\times (0.02L)=0.001moles$$

    $$Strong\ acid,\ fully\ dissociates,\ so\ 0.0005\ moles\ of\ OH^-:$$

    $$[OH^-]=\frac{0.0005}{(.01L+0.02L)}=0.0166M$$

    $$pOH=-log(0.0166)=1.77$$

    $$pH=14-1.77=12.22$$

    $$pK_{Hln}=pH\ (at\ endpoint)= 12.22$$

    This does not give the accurate endpoint of titration, because that should occur around a \(pH\) of 7, since it is strong acid-strong base titration.

    $$HCl: \frac{(0.007moles)}{L}\times (0.200L)=0.0014moles$$

    $$NaOH: \frac{(0.02moles)}{L}\times (0.300L)=0.006moles$$

    This is strong acid, strong base titration, so they both fully dissociate into ions.

    $$ 0.006-0.0014=0.0046\ moles\ of\ OH^-\ unreacted$$

    $$[OH^-]= \frac{0.0046}{(0.2L+0.3L)}=0.0092M$$

    $$pOH=-log(0.0092)=2.036$$

    S74

    The volumes will be the same, because they have the same molarity. However, the \(pH\) will be different because \(HF\) is a stronger acid than \(CH_3COOH\), so its \(pH\) will be around or lower 7, while \(CH_3COOH\) is a weak acid, so the \(pH\) will be greater than 7 (since the strong base, LiOH, has fully dissociated, but the \(CH_3COOH\) has not.)

    S75

    The greater the \(K_b\), the closer the \(pH\) will be to 7 at the equivalence point (inflection point of graph), and the steeper the slope will be. However, because it is a weak base, the \(pH\) will be lower than 7 no matter what. The lower the \(K_b\), the less steep the slope will be and the lower the pH at the equivalence point will be.

    $$moles\ OH^- = 0.0008-0.00025=0.00055$$

    $$[OH^-]=\frac{0.00055}{(0.04L+0.005L)}=0.0122$$

    $$pOH=1.91$$

    $$pH=14-1.91=12.09$$

    $$\frac{(0.05mole)}{L}\times (0.01L)=0.0005\ moles\ HBr$$

    $$moles\ OH^- = 0.0008-0.0005 = 0.0003$$

    It will be basic. The copper is just a spectator ion. The sulfide ion will form a bond with the \(H\) from the water. However, because \(HS\) is a weak acid, the concentration of \(OH^-\) will be greater than \(H^+\) concentration of the dissociation of \(HS\).

    It doesn't matter because the strength of the base doesn't change the number of moles of that base. At the equivalence point, the amount of moles of acid equals the moles of base regardless of strength.

    $$[H_3O^+] = \frac{0.12\ mol}{1L + 0.01\ L} = 0.119\ M$$

    $$pH = 0.92$$

    a)

    $$pH = pK_a +log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}$$

    $$[NH_3] = 0.035\ L \times \frac{0.220\ M\ NH_3}{0.1\ L} = 0.077\ M$$

    $$[NH_4^+] = 0.065 \times \frac{0.250\ M}{0.1\ L} = 0.163\ M$$

    $$pH = 9.00$$

    b) The \(pH\) would change since adding more solution will dilute the concentration and thus reduce the \(pH\) to something near \(pH = 7\).

    c) \(pH\) should still be 9 since the amount of acid is so insignificant

    a)

    $$pOH = 14 – 10 = 4$$

    $$[OH^-] = \frac{10^{-4}\ moles}{1L}\times \frac{1\ mol\ Ba(OH)_2}{2\ mol\ OH^-}=0 .00005\ M$$

    b)

    $$pH = pK_a + log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}$$

    $$pK_a = 4.74$$

    $$4.5 – 4.74 = log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}$$

    $$10^{-0.24} = \frac{[0.300M]}{[acid]} = 0.52\ M$$

    S102

    $$K_b = \frac{(0.500 M)(1.0\times 10^{-7}\ M)}{x\ M} = 1.8\times 10^{-5}$$

    $$[NH_3] = 2.8\times 10^{-3}\ M$$

    $$V = 1L \times (2.8\times 10^{-3}\ M\ NH_3) \times \frac{1\ L}{10.00\ mol\ NH_3} \times \frac{1\ drop}{0.05\ mL} = 3\ drops$$

    S103

    a)

    $$0.2M\ NH_3 = 0.0072\ mol\ NH_3$$

    $$0.2M\ NH_4Cl = 0.0128\ mol\ NH_4Cl$$

    $$Moles\ of\ base\ in\ excess = 0.0128 - 0.0072 = 0.0056\ mol$$

    $$Total\ volume = 36\ mL + 64\ mL = 100\ mL\ (1L)$$

    $$[OH^-] = \frac{0.0056\ mol}{1\ L} = 0.0056\ M$$

    $$pOH = -log(0.0056) = 2.25$$

    $$12 – 2.25 → pH =9.75$$

    b.)

    $$[OH^-] = \frac{0.0056\ mol}{200\ L} = 2.8\times 10^{-5}$$

    No, the \(pH\) would be different because you are changing the concentration of the base, and thereby change the \(pH\) and \(pOH\) values.

    1.) The \(pH\) starts low. 2.) The \(pH\) increases slowly until right before the equivalence point. 3.) At equivalence point, the \(pH\) spikes by approximately 6 units for only a couple drops of base. 4.) After equivalence point, the \(pH\) rises slowly again. 5.) Any acid-base indicator with color change in a \(pH\) range of 4-10 will work.

    $$25g\ malonic\ acid\ in\ 0.300\ L = 0.801\ M\ malonic\ acid$$

    $$H_2M + H_2O \rightleftharpoons HM^- + H_3O^+$$

    $$K_{a1} = \frac{[HM^-] [H_3O^+]}{[H_2M]}$$

    $$[H_3O^+] = -log(2.68) = .0021$$

    $$4.5\times 10^{-12} = \frac{[HM^-](0.0021)}{0.801}$$

    $$[HM^-] = 1.72\times 10^{-9}$$

    $$K_a = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}$$

    $$log(K_a) = log(\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]})$$

    $$logK_a = log[H^+] + log(\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]})$$

    $$-pK_a = -pH + log(\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]})$$

    $$pH = pK_a + log(\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]})$$
