Preparation of BufferPreparation of BufferAs shown by an universal indicator:
Acetic acid-Acidic solution
Sodium acetate-Basic solution
Mixing equal amounts of acetic acid and sodium acetate:- Solution with lower hydronium ion concentration than acetic acid.
Assume you have a 0.30 M solution of formic acid (HCO2H) and have added enough sodium formate (NaHCO2) to make
the solution 0.10 M in the salt. Calculate the pH of the formic acid solution before and after adding sodium formate.
HCO2H (aq) + H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + HCO2-(aq)
BufferBuffer
• A buffer causes solutions to resist a change in pH when a strong acid or base is added.
• Two requirements:--
• Buffer is usually prepared from a conjugate acid-base pair:--
Common BuffersCommon Buffers
BufferBuffer
• Acetic acid / acetate ion buffer:• Acetic acid, the weak acid, is needed to consume any
added hydroxide ion:CH3CO2H(aq) + OH- CH3CO2
-(aq) + H2O (l) K = 1.8 x 109
• K is very large – any OH- added will be consumed• Acetate ion, the conjugate base, will consume any added
hydronium ion:CH3CO2
- + H3O+ CH3CO2H (aq) + H2O (l) K = 5.6 x 104
• K is also large, because H3O+ is a strong acid.
What is the pH of a buffer solution composed of 0.50 M formic acid (HCO2H) and 0.70 M sodium
formate (NaHCO2)?

Expressions for Buffer Expressions for Buffer SolutionsSolutions
• Let’s rearrange:
Ka = [H3O+][HCO2-]
[HCO2H]= 1.8 x10-4
[H3O+] = [HCO2H] x Ka [HCO2
-]
[H3O+] is given by the ratio of the acid and conjugate base concentrations multiplied by the acid ionization constant. This is true for all buffers from weak acid and its conjugate base.
[H3O+] = [acid] x Ka [conjugate base]
Apply –log to each side of the equation:
pH = pKa + log [conjugate base] [acid]

• Initial pH (depending on strong acid concentration) – very acidic
• As NaOH is added, pH increases very slowly until the equivalence point.

becomes basic.
