0.20 M NH31aq2.

(d) 0.20 M NH4Cl and 0.10 M NaOH

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

As we stated earlier a buffer is composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base, but there are actually three ways to create a buffer.

You have to prepare a pH = 5.00 buffer, and you have the
following 0.10 M solutions available: HCOOH, HCOONa,
CH3COOH, CH3COONa, HCN, and NaCN. Which solutions
would you use?

A solution is 0.010 M in Ba2 + and 0.020 M in Ca2 + .
a. If sodium sulfate is used to selectively precipitate one of the
cations while leaving the other cation in solution, which
cation will precipitate first? What minimum concentration
of Na2SO4 will trigger the precipitation of the cation that
precipitates first?

The value of Ksp for Cd1OH22 is 2.5 * 10-14. (b) The solubility
of Cd1OH22 can be increased through formation of the
complex ion CdBr42 - 1Kf = 5 * 1032. If solid Cd1OH22 is
added to a NaBr solution, what is the initial concentration
of NaBr needed to increase the molar solubility of Cd1OH22
to 1.0 * 10-3 mol/L?

Two buffers are prepared by adding an equal number 
of moles of formic acid (HCOOH) and sodium formate 
(HCOONa) to enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. 
Buffer A is prepared using 1.00 mol each of formic acid and 
sodium formate. Buffer B is prepared by using 0.010 mol of 
each. (b) Which buffer will have the greater buffer capacity?

A buffer is a solution composed of a weak acid with its conjugate base.&#160;

Determine how many grams of sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 (MW:82.05 g/mol), you would mix into enough 0.065 M acetic acid CH3CO2H (MW:60.05 g/mol) to prepare 3.2 L of a buffer with a pH of 4.58. The Ka is 1.8 x 10-5.

Determine whether or not the mixing of each pair of solutions
results in a buffer.
c. 50.0 mL of 0.15 M HF; 20.0 mL of 0.15 M NaOH

Which of the indicators given in Figure 16.5, methyl violet, 
bromcresol green, phenol red, or thymolphthalein, would be 
most appropriate to detect a pH change from: 
(c) 2 to 0?<img src="https://lightcat-files.s3.amazonaws.com/problem_images/78088824d39a316b-1673038830687.jpg" alt="" />

Weak Acid Strong Base Titrations

Whenever a WEAK ACID reacts with a STRONG BASE we use an ICF Chart to determine the pH of the solution.&#160;

Strong Acid Strong Base Titrations

In a Strong Acid-Strong Base Titration we do not use an ICF Chart or ICE Chart to determine the pH of the solution.&nbsp;

Titrations of Diprotic and Polyprotic Acids

A diprotic or polyprotic buffer can be approached in a way similar to monoprotic buffers. The key difference is that multiple pKa values will be involved.&#160;
