Defining the Titration Curve

 A titration is complete when the equivalents of

titrant (t) added equals the equivalents of sample (s)

  • riginally present

 equt = equs  VtNt = VsNs

 we can define the extent of a base titration as:  At any point from the start of the titration, we have a

mixed solution of the acid and conjugate base

 We must use the ENE in place of the PBE

Defining the Titration Curve (cont.)

 The ENE is:

 for this problem (titration of HAc with NaOH):

 [Na+] + [H+] = [Ac‐] + [OH‐]

 and in general, for a base titration:

 CB  [Na+] = [A‐] + [OH‐] ‐ [H+]

Reverse Titration (acid)

 The reverse titration is the addition of a strong acid

(e.g., HCl) to the fully titrated acetic acid (e.g., NaAc). This re‐forms the original HAc and produces NaCl too.

 we can define the extent of an acid titration as:  As with the forward titration, we have a mixed

solution of the acid and conjugate base

 We must use the ENE in place of the PBE

Reverse titration (cont.)

 The ENE is:

 for this problem (titration of NaAc with HCl):

 [Na+] + [H+] = [Ac‐] + [OH‐] + [Cl‐]

 and for an acid titration of a pure base (Na form):

 CT  [HA] + [A‐] = [Na+]

pH Buffers & Buffer Intensity

 Definitions

 Buffer: a solution that resists large pH changes when

a base or acid is added

 commonly a mixture of an acid and its conjugate base

 Buffer Intensity: the amount of strong acid or strong

base required to cause a small shift in pH

 Significance

 Natural Waters

 wide range  poorly buffered waters are susceptible to acid precipitation

 Engineered Processes

 certain treatments need large pH shifts (e.g., softening)  others need to resist large shifts (e.g., biotreatment)

 Laboratory

 buffers needed to calibrate pH meters  used in experimentation to maintain constant pH. This

simplifies data analysis and interpretation

David Reckhow CEE 680 #16 11

Making a Buffer

Acid & conjugate base

 best to have a reservoir of each so

there is resistance to change in both directions

 Mirror questions

 Given a desired pH,

what should the buffer composition be?

 Given an acid/conjugate

base mixture, what will the pH be?

Buffers: Acetic Acid & Sodium Acetate Example

 1. List all species present

 H+, OH‐, HAc, Ac‐, Na+

 2. List all independent equations

 equilibria

 Ka = [H+][Ac‐]/[HAc] = 10‐4.77  Kw = [H+][OH‐] = 10‐14

 mass balances

 CHAc + CNaAc = [HAc]+[Ac‐]

 electroneutrality: (positive charges) = (negative charges)

 Note: we can’t use the PBE because we’re adding an acid and its

conjugate base

 [Na+] + [H+] = [OH‐] + [Ac‐]

Simplified HAc/NaAc Example

 3. Use simplified ENE & solve for Ac‐ and HAc

 [Na+] + [H+] = [OH‐] + [Ac‐]  [Na+]  [Ac‐]  CNaAc  [Ac‐]

 4. Plug back in to Ka equation and solve for H+

 Ka = [H+][Ac‐]/[HAc]  Ka = [H+] CNaAc/ CHAc  [H+]= KaCHAc/CNaAc  pH = pKa + log(CNaAc/CHAc)

 or more generally

 pH = pKa + log(CA/CHA)

Observations

  • 1. pH = pKa, when equal amounts of acid and conjugate base are added
  • 2. pH is independent of CT (eventually at low CT this breaks down)

Acids:

 [H+]3 + {Ka}[H+]2 ‐ {Kw + KaC}[H+] ‐ KWKa = 0

Bases:

 [H+]3 + {C+Ka}[H+]2 ‐

Mixed Acid/Bases (i.e., buffers):

 [H+]3 + {CA+Ka}[H+]2 ‐ {Kw + KaCHA}[H+] ‐ KWKa = 0
