[ H3O+] = Ka The above two combination of solution will have the same [H+]. The pH will depend on ka and the relative concentration of acid and base only. The buffering capacity will be higher for the first buffer. It contains greater number of moles of CH3COOH and NaCH3COO-. It can neutralize more of the acid/base added. The greater the amounts, greater resistance to pH change.

Important things to remember in getting ready for titration:
A pH meter or indicators are used to determine when the solution has reached the equivalence point, at which the stoichiometric amount of acid equals that of base. At the equivalence point, # of moles of acid = # of moles of base MaVa = MbVb By using an indicator you could visually see the sudden change in color of the indicator at this point. This point is also known as the "end point" where you will stop adding the titrant. The end point is the appearance of the first permanent color change of the indicator. Note that this point will have a slight excess of the titrant in the solution
At the equivalence point, ( stoichiometric) # of moles of acid = # of moles of base MaVa = MbVb By using an indicator you could visually see the sudden change in color of the indicator at this point. This point is also known as the "end point" where you will stop adding the titrant. The end point is the appearance of the first permanent color change of the indicator. Note that this point will have a slight excess of the titrant in the solution This minute amount of the titrant is making the indicator color visible.

Typically, there are 4 "zones" in which you may be asked to calculate pH: · Before any titrant is added from the buret · After a small amount of titrant has been added · At the equivalence point · After the equivalence point First, we will examine these zones on a titration graph. Then, we will review the pH calculation for each region. The strategy for calculating pH is different for each zone.
(1) Before any titrant is added from the buret
(2) After a small amount
been added*
(3) At the equivalence point
(4) After the equivalence point
In summary, the four regions of any titration graph are: · Before any titrant is added from the buret · After a small amount of titrant has been added · At the equivalence point · After the equivalence point
1) Before any titrant is added from the buret The pH depends up on the concentration of the acid or base. Use the molarity of the acid or base to determine the pH. pH = - log [H3O+] OR pH = 14 - (-log [OH-] Remember to check the acid or base is polyprotic or polyhydroxy.
For example: · 20 ml 0.5M HCl is titrated with 0.25M NaOH The original acid is 0.5M; The concentration of H+ = 0.5M MaVa = MbVb · 20 ml 0.5M H2SO4 is titrated with 0.25M NaOH The original acid is 0.5M; The concentration of H+ = 0.5x2 M 2MaVa = MbVb 20 ml 0.5M HCl is titrated with 0.25M Ca(OH)2 The original acid is 0.5M; The concentration of H+ = 0.5 M MaVa = 2MbVb2
2) When some titrant is added from the buret, before the equivalence point is reached Example: 20 ml 0.5M HCl is titrated with 0.25M NaOH. What is the pH after 10 ml of base is added? · It is recommended that you calculate the volume of the titrant needed to neutralize the acid at the beginning to see which segment of the titration we are in. write down the neutralization reaction HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O 0.01 mol 0.0025mol
0.0075mol 0 mol left [H+] after the 10 ml base had been neutralized by the acid is = 0.0075 mols /0.030L = 0.25M pH = 0.6
3) At the equivalence point: Example: 20 ml 0.5M HCl is titrated with 0.25M NaOH. What is the pH at the equivalence point ? · You will know you have reached the equivalence point when MOLES of acid = MOLES of base · Since there is no excess [H+] or [OH-], we must look to the salt that is formed to see if it will affect pH. · Since it is from a strong base and strong acid, will not undergo hydrolysis to change the pH. · In cases such as these, when a strong acid and strong base are titrated, the pure water will have a pH = 7.0
4) Beyond the equivalence point, when excess titrant has been added from the buret Example: 20 ml 0.5M HCl is titrated with 0.25M NaOH. What is the pH after 45 ml of base had been added? 0.5 x 20ml = 0.25 x V2ml V2 = 40 ml NaOH need to neutralize the 20 ml acid. write down the neutralization reaction HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O 0.01 mol 0.0125mol
0 mol 0.0025mol excess [OH-] after the 45 ml base added = = 0.0025 mols /0.065L = 0.0385M pOH = 1.415 pH = 12.585
The pH at eqequivalence point will be =7

1) Before any titrant is added from the buret Consider the dissociation equation for the substance in the flask: For a weak acid in the flask For a weak base in the flask Ka = x2 / [acid] Kb = x2 / [base] pH = - log x pH = 14 - (-log x)
2) When some titrant is added from the buret, before the equivalence point is reached example# 11: Titration of 20 ml of 0.5M acetic acid with 0.25M NaOH; 10 ml NaOH is added: ka = 1.8 x 10-5 CH3COOH + NaOH --> Na+CH3COO- + H2O 0.01mol 0.0025mol
0.0075mol 0.0 0.0025mol 0.25M (acid) 0.083M ( c.base) Remember you have a buffer situation now because of the salt produced from the neutralizationof the weak acid. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to solve for the pH of the solution at this point.
pH = pKa + log ( [base] / [acid] )
3) At the equivalence point example # 14: Titration of 20 ml of 0.5M acetic acid with 0.25M NaOH; 40 ml NaOH is added: ka = 1.8 x 10-5 CH3COOH + NaOH --> Na+ CH3COO- + H2O 0.01mol 0.01mol
0.0mol 0.0 mol 0.01mol 0.166M (base) The salt Na+ CH3COO- has a strong conjugate base CH3COO- The anion, CH3COO- will undergo hyrolysis as follows: CH3COO- + H2O --> CH3COOH + OH- 0.166M 0 0
0.166-X x x Kb = X2 / 0.166 ; Solve for x Remember Kb = Kw / Ka Calculate pH Will be slightly basic !
The pH at the equivalence point is above 7 weak acid vs strong base strong acid vs strong base
· The pH at the equivalence point in these titrations is < 7. · Methyl red is the indicator of choice. strong base with strong acid , pH =7 weak base NH3 with strong acid , pH = 5.5
4) Beyond the equivalence point, when excess titrant has been added from the buret example: Titration of 20 ml of 0.5M acetic acid with 0.25M NaOH; 50 ml NaOH is added: This is exactly the same as for strong acid-strong base titrations. The strong base added after the end point will increase the OH- in the solution making it strongly basic. Calculate the [OH-] from the excess base in the new volume and determine the pH.
