pH RULES
pH Strong acids = - log[H+]
pOH Strong bases = =log [OH-]
Kw = [H+][OH-]= 1.0x10-14 pH + pOH=14 at 25°C
pH of weak acid = -log K a [ weak acid ] [ H  ][CH 3COO  ]
ka 
[CH 3COOH ]
Calculation of the pH of a weak base:
1. Find the [OH-] from the pKb value [ NH 4 ][OH  ]
2. From the [OH-] find the pOH kb 
[ NH 3 ]
3. Find the pH from: pOH + pH = 14

For weak polyprotic acids, Ka1>Ka2>Ka3


Salts made of cations of strong bases and the anions of strong acids have no effect on [H+]
when dissolved in water.
SALTS OF WEAK ACIDS IN WATER GIVE BASIC SOLN.
SALTS OF WEAK BASES IN WATER GIVE ACIDIC SOLN.
[base ] When [Base] = [acid]  pH = pKa
Buffers pH = pKa + log
[acid] [𝐼𝑛]
pH= pKin + log [𝐻𝐼𝑛−]

CALCULATIONS OF TITRATION CURVES
How to perform calculations for acid-base titrations?
1. Write the balanced equation for the reaction resulting from the
species present in solution.
2. Calculate the moles of reactants.
3. Determine the limiting reactant or product.
4. Calculate the moles of the required reactant or product.
5. Convert to grams or volume if required.
The equivalence point in an acid-base titration is defined by the stoichiometry
and not by the pH (i.e. 50 ml 0.1M will neutralize 50 ml 0.1 M HCl, and will
also neutralize 50 ml 0.1M CH3COOH).
The equivalence point occurs when enough titrant has been added to react
exactly with the acid or base being titrated.

ACID-BASE INDICATORS
[𝐼𝑛]
• pH= pKin + log [𝐻𝐼𝑛−]
• For a typical acid-base indicator with dissociation constant Kin, the color changes
over a range of pH values given by the pkin 1.
• A good indicator should have a pKin value that is close to the expected pH at the
equivalence point.

Strong base (analyte) versus strong acid Weak base (analyte) versus strong acid

PHCM223,SS16, 26-03-2016 Midterm revision, Dr. Rasha Hanafi. 7


CHOICE OF INDICATOR IN POLYPROTIC TITRATIONS
There are 2
important points: the
equivalence point
and the mid point.

At the midpoint,
pH=pKa

At the equivalence
point, the pH is the
average of the 2 pKa
values before and
after that point

Once you calculate the pH at the equivalence


point, you can select the proper indicator
that would change its color around that value

PROBLEM 1
What percent of formic acid (HCOOH) is dissociated in a 0.1 M solution of
formic acid? The Ka of formic acid is 1.77 x 10-4.

PHCM223,SS16, 26-03-2016 Midterm revision, Dr. Rasha Hanafi. 9


PROBLEM 2
If the H+ concentration is 0.00001 M, what is the OH-
concentration?
since pH = - log [H+]= -log (1.0 x 10-5)
pH = -(-5) = 5
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 5 = 9

PROBLEM 3
pKa for phenolphthalein is 9.3 at 25°C.
a) Calculate ratio of its anionic form to acid form at pH 8.2 and at pH 10.
b) Using these values, explain the color change within this pH range.
a) At pH = 8.2:
8.2 = 9.3 + log (base form / acid form)
log (base form / acid form) = -1.1  ratio of base form to acid form = 0.0794 to 1 (≈ 8 to
100)
a) At pH = 10.:
10 = 9.3 + log (base form / acid form) log (base form / acid form) = 0.7
ratio of base form to acid form = 5.01 to 1 (≈ 500 to 100)
b) the anionic (or base) form that is colored pink. The acid form is colorless.
At pH = 8.3, the pink form is in the minority at this pH. For every 100 acid (colorless) forms,
there are only 8 base (pink) forms.
At pH = 10, the colorless form is in the minority. For every 100 acid (colorless) forms
present, there are now 500 base (pink) forms present.
This means that from pH = 8.3 to pH = 10., there has been increase in pink forms (from
8:100 to 500:100). While there might be a slight pink color pH 8.3, the population of pink
forms has greatly increased by pH = 10., to the point where the pink color is easily seen.

PROBLEM 4

Aspirin has a pKa of 3.4. What is the ratio of A¯ to HA in:


a) blood (pH = 7.4)
b) the stomach (pH = 1.4)

a) pH = pKa + log [A¯] / [HA]


7.4 = 3.4 + log [A¯]/ [HA]
4 = log [A¯]/ [HA]
104 = [A¯]/ [HA]= 10000
b) 1.4 = 3.4 + log [A¯]/ [HA]
- 2.0 = log [A¯]/ [HA]
10-2 = [A¯]/ [HA] = 0.01

PROBLEM 5
What is the pH when 25.0 mL of 0.200 M of CH3COOH has been
titrated with 35.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH? Acetic acid pKa=4.752
CH3COOH + NaOH  CH3COONa + H2O
Step 1: Determine moles of acetic acid and NaOH before mixing:
CH3COOH: (0.200 mol/L) (0.0250 L) = 0.00500 mol
NaOH: (0.100 mol/L) (0.0350 L) = 0.0035 mol
Step 2 : Determine moles of acetic acid and sodium acetate after mixing:
Remaining CH3COOH: 0.00500 mol - 0.00350 mol = 0.00150 mol
Newly formed CH3COONa: 0.0035 mol
Step 3: Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = 4.752 + log [(0.00350 mol/0.060 L) / (0.0015 mol/0.060 L)]
pH = 4.752 + log 2.333
pH = 4.752 + 0.368
pH = 5.120

PROBLEM 6
Determine the pH of a 0.10 M solution of H2SO4. Considering the total [H+]
ions obtained from the first and the second dissociation (Ka2 = 1.3 x 10-2)
H2SO4 has two protons, so it is a diprotic acid that undergoes two sequential ionizations in
water:
First ionization: H2SO4(aq) → H+(aq) + HSO4-(aq)
Second ionization: HSO4-(aq) ⇔ H+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, so its first dissociation approaches 100%. While for the
second ionization HSO4- is a weak acid, so the H+ is in equilibrium with its conjugate base.
Ka2 = [H+][SO42-]/[HSO4-] = 1.3 x 10-2
Ka2 = (0.10 + x)(x)/(0.10 - x)
Since x can not be ignored (as requested by the problem), it's necessary to use the
quadratic formula to solve for x:
x2 + 0.11x - 0.0013 = 0 x = 1.1 x 10-2 M
The sum of the first and second ionizations gives the total [H+] at equilibrium.
0.10 + 0.011 = 0.11 M
pH = -log[H+] = 0.96 (If only the first dissociation would have been considered, then pH=
-log 0.1= 1

PROBLEM 7
A solution containing 50.00 mL of 0.1800 M NH3 (Kb = 1.77 x 10-5)
is being titrated with 0.3600 M HCl.

Calculate the pH:

a. initially
b. After the addition of 5.00 mL of HCl
c. After the addition of a total volume of 12.50 mL HCl
d. After the addition of a total volume of 25.00 mL of HCl
e. After the addition of 26.00 mL of HCl

NH3 + HCl  NH4Cl

PHCM223,SS16, 26-03-2016 Midterm revision, Dr. Rasha Hanafi. 15


PROBLEM 7
b): 1) Determine moles of NH3 and HCl before mixing:
NH3: (0.1800 mol/L) (0.0500 L) = 0.00900 mol
HCl: (0.3600 mol/L) (0.0050 L) = 0.00180 mol
2) Determine moles of ammonia and ammonium ion after mixing:
NH3: 0.00900 mol - 0.00180 mol = 0.00720 mol NH3 remaining
NH4+: 0.00180 mol produced
3) Use the H-H Equation:
pH = pKa + log (base/acid) pH = 9.248 + log [(0.0072/0.055) / (0.0018/0.055)]
pH = 9.850 ````Note that the pKa was used, NOT the pKb. (pKa = pKw – pKb )

c): 1) Determine moles of NH3 and HCl before mixing:


NH3: (0.1800 mol/L) (0.0500 L) = 0.00900 mol
HCl: (0.3600 mol/L) (0.01250 L) = 0.00450 mol
2) Determine moles of ammonia and ammonium ion after mixing:
NH3: 0.00900 mol - 0.00450 mol = 0.00450 mol NH3 remaining
NH4+: 0.00450 mol produced 3) Use the H-H Equation:
pH = pKa + log (base/acid) pH = 9.248 + log (0.0045 / 0.0045)
pH = 9.248
PHCM223,SS16, 26-03-2016 Midterm revision, Dr. Rasha Hanafi. 16
PROBLEM 7

Solution to part (d):


1) Determine moles of NH3 and HCl before mixing:
NH3: (0.1800 mol/L) (0.0500 L) = 0.00900 mol
HCl: (0.3600 mol/L) (0.02500 L) = 0.00900 mol
2) Determine moles of ammonia and ammonium ion after mixing:
NH3: 0.00900 mol - 0.00900 mol = zero mol NH3 remaining
NH4+: 0.00900 mol produced

This solution is no longer a buffer. It is now the salt of a weak base and its solution
will be acidic.
The H-H Equation is not used to determine the pH of the solution.

Use calculation of pH of salts. The salt is NH4Cl (see lecture 2, slide 10, solution pH =
5.084).

PROBLEM 7

e)This solution is now a solution of a strong acid


(the presence of the weak acid NH4+ may be
ignored).
The new molarity of the HCl:
M1 V 1 = M2 V 2
(0.36) (1.00 mL) = (x) (76.00 mL)
x = 0.0047 M = [H+]
pH = - log [H+]
pH = 2.324
