1. This question is all about buffer solution calculations :)
*buffered: an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or
vice versa.
unbuffered: an aqueous solution consisting of only acid/base and water.
c. Calculate the pH of an unbuffered 0.010M acetic acid solution in which 0.004 M of H+ is being
added from an acidic source.
[2]
d. Calculate the pH of an unbuffered 0.010M acetic acid solution in which 0.004 M of OH- is being
added from a basic source.
[2]
2. A buffer solution is made from 30.0 cm3 of 0.500 moldm-3 NaOH and 20 cm3 of 1.500 moldm-3
CH3COOH. Calculate the pH of the buffer solution at 298K.
(pKa (CH3COOH) = 4.76)
[4]
2. Limescale, CaCO3(s), can be removed from water kettles by using vinegar, a dilute solution of
ethanoic acid, CH3COOH(aq).
a. Predict, giving a reason, a difference between the reactions of the same concentrations of
hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid with samples of calcium carbonate.
[2]
b. Dissolved carbon dioxide causes unpolluted rain to have a pH of approximately 5.6, but other
dissolved gases can result in a much lower pH. State one environmental effect of acid rain.
[1]
c. Write an equation to show ammonia, NH3, acting as a Brønsted–Lowry base and a different
equation to show it acting as a Lewis base.
[2]
d. Explain, using appropriate equations, how a suitably concentrated solution formed by the
partial neutralization of 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid with sodium hydroxide acts as a buffer
solution.
[2]
a. This is a (strong/weak) acid titrated with a strong base. The acid is ( monoprotic /diprotic).
[2]
b. How would the other strength of acid look? (sketch it on the graph) (Strong or weak)
[1]
c. Place a dot (.) on the curve at the equivalence point. The pH at the equivalence point is ____.
Choose a good indicator for this titration
[2]
d. Write the indicator reaction that takes place at the equivalence point. What would the colour
change be?
[2]
[1]
[2]
g. The volume of strong base required to reach the equivalence point is ___ mL. [1]
[2]
i. Use your answer from question h and the initial pH of the acid (read from the graph) to
calculate the Ka of the acid.
[2]
j. Sketch the titration curve that would result from the titration of 10.00 mL of of 1.00 mol/L
NH3(aq) by adding 0.500 mol/L HCl(aq). Label the equivalence point.

5. Complete the following reactions, and write the net ionic equations:
