Acid-base properties of a salt

If only the cation of salt is acidic, the solution will be acidic. If only the anion of the salt is basic, the solution will be basic. If a salt has a cation that is acidic and an anion that is basic, the pH of the solution is determined by the relative strength of the acid or base.

Buffers

Buffer solutions are used to keep the pH constant. Dilution of solution, addition of acid or base to buffer solution affects the pH very little. Buffer consists of a weak Bronsted acid and its conjugate base or vice versa. Examples: NH3 and NH4Cl (NH3 / NH4+) CH3COOH and CH3COONa (CH3COOH / CH3COO-)

Preparation of a buffer solution with a given pH

How do you prepare an acetate/acetic acid buffer solution with a pH = 5.0? (Ka = 1.8x10-5) Solution pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]) 5.0 = -log(1.8x10-5) + log([A-]/[HA]) 10(5.00 - 4.74) = [A-]/[HA] [A-]/[HA] = 1.82

Buffer capacity
The ratio [A-]/[HA] defines the pH of buffer solution. The magnitude of concentrations [A-] and [HA] defines the buffer capacity. It is the ability of a buffer solution to compensate extra added acid or base.

Acid-base titrations

The pH of an unknown acid may be found by titrating it with a standard base solution until the end point is reached. The equivalence point occurs when stoichiometrically equivalent acid and base reacts. Titration curves are drawn, pH vs added reagent, and equivalence point is determined.
