Buffer Calculations

This document contains 6 chemistry problems calculating pH values of different buffer solutions and acid/base solutions. Problem 1 calculates the pH of a HF/NaF buffer as 3.52. Problem 2 calculates the pH of the same buffer after adding NaOH as 3.70. Problem 3 calculates the pH of a 0.08 M NaOH solution as 12.90. Problem 4 states the buffer range for an acid with Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 would be 2.15 to 4.15. Problem 5 calculates the pH of the original HF/NaF buffer after adding HCl as 3.44. Problem 6 calculates the pH of a 0.04 M HCl solution as 1.40.

1. Calculate the pH of a buffer solution made from equal amounts of 0.

30 M
hydrofluoric acid and 0.70 M sodium fluoride. Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 [H+] = 3.04 x 10-
4
; pH = 3.52

2. Calculate the pH of a buffer solution made from 0.30 M hydrofluoric acid


and 0.70 M sodium fluoride after the addition of 0.08 mol of NaOH to 1 L of
this solution. Assume no change in volume. Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 [H+] = 2.00 x 10-4;
pH = 3.70

3. Calculate the pH of a 0.08 M NaOH solution. Compare to the pH found in


problem 2.
pOH = 1.10; pH = 12.90

4. What would be the buffer range for an acid if its Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 ?
pKa = 3.15; buffer range 2.15 to 4.15

5. Calculate the pH of a buffer solution made from 0.30 M hydrofluoric acid


and 0.70 M sodium fluoride after the addition of 0.04 mol of HCl to 1 L of this
solution. Assume no change in volume. Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 [H+] = 3.66 x 10-4; pH =
3.44

6. Calculate the pH of a 0.04 M HCl solution. Compare to the pH found in


problem 5.
pH = 1.40
