Concept Introduction :
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is represented as follows:
pH = pKa+log[conjugate base][acid]
This is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution containing an acid or its conjugate base.
(b)

Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 4.26
Explanation of Solution
The added OH- reacts completely with acetic acid.
CH3COOH + OH−→CH3COO− + H2O
Number of moles of acetic acid present = 0.200 mol1000 mL×100.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×50.0 mL = 0.005 mol
Number of moles of acetic acid left = 0.02−0.005=0.015 mol
Number of moles of acetate ions formed = 0.005 mol
If the final volume is V,
pH = pKa+log[CH3COO−][CH3COOH]pH = −log(1.8×10−5)+log(0.005/V0.015/V)pH = 4.74 + (−0.477)pH = 4.26

Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 5.22
Explanation of Solution
CH3COOH + OH−→CH3COO− + H2O
Number of moles of acetic acid present = 0.200 mol1000 mL×100.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×150.0 mL = 0.015 mol

Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 8.79
Explanation of Solution
CH3COOH + OH−→CH3COO− + H2O
Number of moles of acetic acid present = 0.200 mol1000 mL×100.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×200.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of acetic acid left = 0.02−0.02=0.0 mol
Number of moles of acetate ions formed = 0.02 mol
This is the equivalence point of the reaction. At the equivalence point pH is affected by the conjugate base, acetate ions.

Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 12.14
Explanation of Solution
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×250.0 mL = 0.025 mol
Number of moles of acetate ions formed = 0.02 mol
Number of excess OH- moles from KOH = 0.025−0.020=0.005 mol
When a strong base and a weak base both are present in a solution, the amount of OH- added from weak base can be neglected as its dissociation constant is very small. The pH past the equivalence point is determined by the amount of excess base added.
[OH−]excess=0.005 mol(100.0+250.0) mL=0.014 M
pOH = −log(0.014)pOH = 1.86pH = 14 - 1.86pH = 12.14

This quiz is open textbook / open notes - but you must work alone. You cannot use the internet or the solutions manual for the book. Scan in your work and record an explanation of your mechanism. You may record this any way that you like. One way would be to start an individual Zoom meeting, start recording, "share your screen" and then talk through the problem. This will be converted to an .mp4 file that you can upload into Canvas using the "record/upload media" feature. Pyridine, benzoic acid and benzene are dissolved in ethyl acetate. Design and provide a plan / flow chart for separating and isolating each of these components. Pyridine and benzene are liquids at room temperature. Benzoic acid is a solid.
