Consider a buffer made by adding 42.3 g of (CH3)2NH2I to 250.0 mL of 1.42 M (CH:)»NH (Kb = 5.4 x 10 4) What is the pH of the buffer after 0.300 mol of Ht have been added?
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![**Buffer Preparation and pH Calculation**
**Scenario:**
Consider a buffer made by adding 42.3 g of (CH₃)₂NH₂I to 250.0 mL of 1.42 M (CH₃)₂NH.
**Given:**
- The base dissociation constant (Kb) for (CH₃)₂NH is 5.4 x 10⁻⁴.
**Question:**
What is the pH of the buffer after 0.300 mol of H⁺ have been added?
**Steps for Calculation:**
1. **Determine the Moles of Each Component:**
- Calculate moles of (CH₃)₂NH₂I using its molar mass.
- Calculate initial moles of (CH₃)₂NH using its concentration and volume.
2. **Buffer Reaction:**
- Consider the buffer reaction between (CH₃)₂NH and added H⁺ ions.
- Adjust the moles of components based on the reaction with H⁺.
3. **Utilize the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:**
- Use the pKb to find the pKa.
- Apply the equation to find the pH of the buffer solution after the addition of H⁺ ions.
This problem involves using concepts of buffer solution chemistry and equilibrium constants to calculate the resulting pH when an acid is introduced to the system.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbe0d943e-9fca-4e2a-b664-d6ee3b13cd53%2F30b4b60c-d0b2-47b3-baf9-837ac62d4e86%2Fwh67frq_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
