Sulfanilic acid (NH2C6H4SO3H) is used in manufacturing dyes. It ionizes in water according to the equilibrium equation NH2C6H4SO3H(aq)+H2O(l)NH2C6H4SO3(aq)+H3O+(aq)Ka=5.9104 A buffer is prepared by dissolving 0.20 mol of sulfanilicacid and 0.13 mol of sodium sulfanilate (NaNH2C6H4SO3) in water and diluting to 1.00 L. Compute the pH of the solution. Suppose 0.040 mol of HCl is added to the buffer.Calculate the pH of the solution that results.
7. Describe a buffered solution. Give three examples of buffered solutions. For each of your examples, write equations and explain how the components of the buffered solution consume added strong acids or bases. Why is buffering of solutions in biological systems so important?
Calculate the pH of these buffers.
What is the pH of a buffer that is 0.175 M in a weak acid and 0.200 M in the acids conjugate base? The acids ionization constant is 5.7 104.
Sketch the titration curve for a weak acid titrated by a strong base. When performing calculations concerning weak acidstrong base titrations, the general two-slep procedure is to solve a stoichiometry problem first, then to solve an equilibrium problem to determine the pH. What reaction takes place in the stoichiometry part of the problem? What is assumed about this reaction? At the various points in your titration curve, list the major species present after the strong base (NaOH, for example) reacts to completion with the weak acid, HA. What equilibrium problem would you solve at the various points in your titration curve to calculate the pH? Why is pH 7.0 at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration? Does the pH at the halfway point to equivalence have to be less than 7.0? What does the pH at the halfway point equal? Compare and contrast the titration curves for a strong acidstrong base titration and a weak acidstrong base titration.
