Consider a soda ash sample containing Na2CO3 Based on the volume relationship the sample is therefore
only made up of NaOH and Na2CO3.
Na2CO3 reaction with HCl
(8) HCl + Na2CO3 NaHCO3 Moles Na2CO3 = MHCl x VMO
(9) HCl + NaHCO3 NaCl + CO2 + H2O = (0.500) x (2.01 ml/1000)
(titration curve will also have two breaks) = 0.001005mol
Phenolphthalein endpoint is reached once reaction
number 8 is completed while the methyl orange Moles NaOH = MHC x (Vphen – VMO)
endpoint is reached once reaction number 9 is = (0.500) x [(44.52 ml – 2.01 ml)/1000]
completed (VPhenolphthalein = VMO) = (0.500) x (0.04251)
= 0.021255
Consider a soda ash sample containing NaHCO3
only % Na2CO3 = [(0.001005 mol x 106 g/mol) x (250 ml/25 ml)] /
NaHCO3 reaction with HCl (10 g)
(10) HCl + NaHCO3 NaCl + CO2 + H2O = [(1.0653 g) /(10 g)] x 100%
(titration curve or pH curve will only have one = 10.653 %
break)
There is no need for phenolphthalein. Methyl % NaOH = [(0.021255 mol x 40 g/mol) x (250 ml/25 ml)] / (10g)
Orange endpoint is reached once reaction number = [(8.502g) / (10g)] x 100%
10 is completed (VPhenolphthalein = 0) = 85.02 %
* To calculate the pH of a buffer solution:
pH = pKa + log([base component]/[acid component]) or
Common Ion Effect and Buffers pH = pKa + log(moles of base component/moles of acid
component)
* Common-ion effect is an application of the Le Chatelier’s
principle If an acid was added to the buffer solution:
* a salt is generally less soluble in s solution containing an pH = pKa + log [(moles of base– moles of acid added)/
ion which is the same as one of the constituent ions of the (moles of acid + moles of acid added)]
salt. This is known as the common-ion effect
* a buffer solution is one which resists drastic changes in pH If base was added to the buffer solution:
when small quantities of of acid or base is added pH = pKa + log [(moles of base+ moles of base added)/
* Effectivity of a buffer: pH = pKa (moles of acid - moles of base added)]
* The capacity of a buffer increases when the concentration
of the acid and base component of the buffer is increased * Maximum buffering capacity: pH = pKa +/- 1
* dilution does not affect the pH of the buffer
