Chapter 8, Problem 8.74P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound listed in Table 8-6 that is most effective for making a buffer at pH 7.0 should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The buffer consists of zwitter ions molecules which have both positive and negative charges. They are concentration and temperature change resistant. To understand the buffer it is not important to know its structure only the pKa values of the buffer and the needed concentration are enough to calculate its pH using Handerson-Hasselbalch equation which is as follows:

pH=pKa+log[A][HA]

Here, pH is negative log of hydrogen ion, pKa is negative log of acid dissociation constant, [A] is concentration of conjugate base and [HA] is concentration of acid.

Solution 9-11
A chemistry student is asked to maked a buffer of pH = 4.0. Which of the following acids would be the best choice? Explain your selection to the best of your ability and in your own words. Formic acid -4 Ka = 1.8 x10 Acetic acid Ka = 1.8 x10-5 -5 Chloropropanoic acid Ka 7.8 x10 Benzoic acid Ka = 6.3 x10-5
You need to prepare a pH = 9.20 buffer solution containing NH3 and NH4Cl. If you start with 0.71 M NH4Cl solution, what concentration of NH3 l will you need to also start with? (Kb for NH3 is 1.8x10-5)
