Part C – Acid–base and solubility equilibria
1. Rinse 4 regular size test tubes and a 10 mL measuring cylinder thoroughly with water. Number the test-tubes from 1 to 4 in a test tube rack.
2. Into each of test tubes 1 – 3 put a small amount of solid benzoic acid (put the same amount – about the size of a pea – in each test tube).
3. Add 2 mL (use the measuring cylinder) of water to tube 1 and shake to mix the contents.
4. Add 2 mL (measuring cylinder) of 2 M HNO3 to tube 2 and shake to mix the contents.
5. Rinse the measuring cylinder with water, then use it to add 2 mL of 2 M NaOH to tube 3 and shake for about 10 seconds to mix the contents. Rinse the measuring cylinder.
6. Pour about half of the solution from tube 3 into tube 4, than add 2 mL of 2 M HNO3 to tube 4.
7. Allow the test tubes to stand for 2 or 3 minutes then record the appearance of the mixtures in each test tube.
8. Answer the questions on the results page relating to this equilibrium system.
a buffer solution is prepared by mixing the solution of a weak acid with its salt.Write two expressions that show what happens when two substances are dissolved in water.
b) Based on the answer you gave to the above question explain why the pH of a buffer solution does not change even if we add a little acid.
A few small drops of water are left in a burette that is used to titrate a base into an acid solution to determine the concentration of the acid. Will this small amount of water have any effect on the determined value for the concentration of the acid? If so, how is it affected?
a. Those extra few drops of acid will cause the calculation for the concentration of the base to be too low. This is because it will seem that it took more acid to neutralize the base than it really did and so it will appear that the base is of stronger concentration than it really was.
b. Those extra few drops of acid will cause the calculation for the concentration of the base to be too low. This is because it will seem that it took less acid to neutralize the base than it really did and so it will appear that the base is of stronger concentration than it really was.
c. Those extra few drops of acid will cause the calculation for the concentration of the base to be too high. This is because it will seem that…

- This question is about a buffer solution made by mixing together solutions containing ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate. a) If you add a small amount of an acid such as dilute hydrochloric acid to this, the pH doesn't change much. Explain what happens to the extra hydrogen ions you have added. b) If you add a small amount of an alkali such as sodium hydroxide solution to the buffer solution, again the pH doesn't change much.
