Student name (Print):_______________________

 

I. Suggestion of Use

(1) This is a dry lab. 

(2) Instructors may assign different problems for different students in the same group to work on in the lab.

(3) If preferred, instructors may randomize those numbers in the given problems and then assign to students.

 

II. Objectives

(1) Identify necessary components for the constitution of a buffer;

(2) Calculate buffer pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation;

III. Principles, Procedures, and Practices

Buffers are widely used in chemical reaction where solution pH is required to be constant. With the addition of limited amount of acid/base, buffer solution pH does not change significantly.

 

III.1 Constitution of a buffer

To constitute a buffer, a pair of conjugate weak acid and weak base is required. The conjugate weak acid and the conjugate weak base has a difference of only one H+. For example, HC2H3O (acetic acid) and C2H3O- (acetate) will be t constitute a buffer.

Your instructor will select a problem for you to work on.

III.2 Buffer solution pH calculation

For buffer solution pH-related calculation, Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is often used. 

 

However, one must always keep in mind that Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is good for use only when,

 

 

Example: What is the pH of a buffer solution composed of 0.12 M NaNO2 and 0.15 M HNO2 at 25°C? It is known Ka for HNO2 is 4.5×10-4 at 25°C.

Solution: HNO2 is a weak acid. The NO2- derived from NaNO2 is a weak base. HNO2 and NO2- are a conjugate pair.

[base]ini=[NO2-]ini=0.12M; [acid]ini=[HNO2]ini=0.15M

 

Attention: Sometimes, mass may be given instead of mole or molarity. In that case, you have to calculate molarity first.

Your instructor will select a problem for you to work on.

(Different problems may be assigned to different students in the same group.)

III.3 Buffer solution Preparation for a Required pH

Buffer preparation has two common ways: (1) direct mixing conjugate acid and base; and (2) partial neutralization.

Way 1 - Direct mixing conjugate acid and baseWay 2- Partial neutralization

Example: It is known nitrous acid (HNO2) pKa = 3.35.

If you intend to use HNO2 and NaNO2 to buffer solution at pH = 4.00, what is molar ration of NaNO2 and HNO2 should be? To a solution containing 15.0 g HNO2, what mass of NaNO2 you need to add?

Solution:

 

 

Hence,

 

 

 

 

= 6.9

 

 

Example: It is known nitrous acid (HNO2) pKa = 3.35.

If you have 200 ml 0.100 M HNO2 solution, what volume of 0.500 M NaOH you need to add in order to have a buffer with pH at 3.00?

Solution:

 

With partial neutralization, the solution will include HNO2 and NO2-, which can constitute a buffer.

 

 

Hence,

 

 

Assuming

ml of 0.100 M NaOH is required to add.

 

Based on above chemical equation, moles of NaOH quals to moles of NaNO2 generated.

Summary

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M HCl into 100ml water results a pH change from 7.00 to 3.00.                          (DpH = -4.00)

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M NaOH into 100ml water results a pH change from 7.00 to 11.00.                    (DpH = +4.00)

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M HCl into 100ml buffer results a pH change from 3.35 to 3.34.                          (DpH = -0.01)

Adding 1.00 ml 0.100 M NaOH into 100ml water results a pH change from 3.35 to 3.36.                       (DpH = +0.01)

Attention:

If too much acid/base is added resulting in [base]ini/[acid]ini <0.1 or >10, one can't use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate buffer pH any more. Instead, common ion effect with I.C.E. table should be used for pH calculation.

IV. Procedure   and Data Collection

IV.1 Information

An ionic compound is formed between a metal cation and a nonmetal anion or a polyatomic ion. When an ionic compound dissolves in water, the compound dissociates into a cation and an anion. For example: NaCl(s) ® Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq). However not all ionic compounds can completely dissolve in water. Some ionic compounds have low solubility in water and are considered as insoluble compounds. Review solubility rules in General Chemistry I.

Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 has a low solubility in water. The solubility equilibrium of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 in water is shown below:

Ca(OH)2(s)  ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)

The equilibrium constant of the above reversible equation, aka solubility product of Ca(OH)2 is given as: 

Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]2 (Note that Ca(OH)2, as a solid, does not appear in the expression of Ksp, in keeping with the rules of equilibrium constant expressions for heterogeneous systems.)

Many factors can affect the solubility of a solid, including the presence of other ions in solution. If an ion present in the solution in which the solid is dissolved is also one of the ions from the solid, this ion is called a common ion. The presence of a common ion shifts the equilibrium to the reactant side of the solubility equilibrium, i.e. the common ion decreases the solubility of the solid. This is known as the Common Ion Effect. In this experiment, we will examine the solubility of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2, a slightly soluble solid and the common ion effect. 

IV. 2 Procedure

Preparation of Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solutions

(1) Measure 2 grams of solid Ca(OH)2 to a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Fill the flask about half full with 0.010 M Ba(NO3)2 solution. 

(2) Close the flask with a cork or a stopper. Shake the solution for 5 minutes. Label the solution as "Ca(OH)2 Solution 1". 

(3) Measure 2 grams of solid Ca(OH)2 to another Erlenmeyer flask, repeat steps 1-2 using 0.010 M Ca(NO3)2 solution. Label the solution as "Ca(OH)2 Solution 2". 

(4) Filter the above two solutions using filter paper. Label the two filtered solutions as "Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 1" and "Saturated Ca(OH)Solution 2". 

 

 

 

Titration of the Ca(OH)2 Solutions

(1) Record the molarity of the standardized HCl solution provided by the instructor. 

(2) Use a pipet to transfer 25.00 mL "Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 1" to a clean Erlenmeyer flask. Add 2-3 drops of the indicator to the flask. 

(3) Titrate the 25.00 mL of "Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 1" with the HCl solution to the end-point, twice. Record the mL of the HCl solution used in titrations. Take the average of the volumes and convert the average volume to L.

(4) Repeat Steps (2) and (3) with "Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 2". Record the mL of the HCl solution used in titrations. Take the average of the volumes and convert the average volume to L.  

Think:

Ca(OH)2 has low solubility in water. In which solution, 
Ba(NO3)2 or Ca(NO3)2, do you think Ca(OH)2 has lower solubility than in pure water? (Hint: which solution has a common ion? How does a common ion affect the solubility of an insoluble compound?)

V. Calculation and Conclusions

V. 1 Information

In this experiment, acid HCl is used to titrate base Ca(OH)2. With the known molarity M of HCl and the measured volume V of HCl to titrate 25.00 mL Ca(OH)2, we can calculate the molarity M of Ca(OH)2. Since 1 mol Ca(OH)2 dissociating in water produces 1 mol Ca2+, the calculated molarity M of Ca(OH)2 is equal to the molarity of Ca2+ in "Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 1" where no common ion is present: 

Ca2+ in "Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 1" = M of Ca(OH)2 calculated from the titration equation

However, when the saturated solution is prepared in 0.01 M Ca(NO3)2, the molarity of Ca2+ is equal to the sum of Ca2+ from Ca(OH)2 and the Ca2+ from 0.01 M Ca(NO3)2, which is 0.01 M:

Ca2+ in "Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 2" = M of Ca(OH)2 calculated from the titration equation + 0.01 M

V.2 Calculation

Plug the average volumes of the HCl solution from Data Collection into the titration equation to calculate the molarities of Ca2+ in the two saturated solutions. Complete the following table.

Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 1
Average HCl volume VHCl (L) 
Moles of H+ (mol) = MHCl´VHCl 
[OH-] = Moles of H+/0.025 (M) 
[Ca2+] = 2 ´ [OH-] (M) 
Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]2 
Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solution 1
Average HCl volume VHCl (L) 
Moles of H+ (mol) = MHCl´VHCl 
[OH-] = Moles of H+/0.025 (M) 
[Ca2+] = 2 ´ [OH-] + 0.01 (M) 
Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]2 

V.3 Conclusions

Compare the [OH-] in two saturated solutions, which one is smaller? What can you conclude?

 

 

Compare the two Ksp values, are they close? What can you conclude?

IV. Procedure   and Data Collection

IV.1 Information

The First Law of Thermodynamics (aka Law of Energy Conservation) states that the total energy of the universe must remain constant. Therefore, the heat (q) lost by a system is equal to the heat gained by the surroundings. The only difference between these two values is the sign: 

qsystem = -qsurroundings         ..................................................Equation 1

The standard S.I. unit for heat is the joule (J). The specific heat Cs of a substance is the heat it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of the substance by 1 oC. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g oC. 

In this experiment, a coffee-cup calorimeter is used to study the heat transfer involved in chemical reactions. The calorimeter contains two-nested Styrofoam coffee cups. Water is often used in the calorimeter to make thermal contact with the process under investigation (i.e. water is the surroundings). If the process releases heat, the heat transferred to the surroundings causes the temperature of the water to rise and vice versa. The temperature change (Dt) can be measured as the difference between the final and initial temperatures of the water in the calorimeter. The heat transfer in a calorimeter may be expressed with the following equation: 

qwater = m ´Cs ´ Dt                     ............................. Equation 2

where m is the mass of water in the calorimeter, Cs of water is 4.18 J/g oC and Dt is the temperature difference of water before and after the process occurs. Note the water is the surroundings to the process and one has to reverse the sign of qwater to find the heat transfer of the system (Equation 1).  

 

Coffee-cup calorimeter

To determine the temperature difference Dt, the temperatures over a certain time period will be recorded and plotted on y­-axis versus time on x-axis. The temperature difference Dt will be calculated as 

Dt = tafter,average - tbefore,average ............Equation 3

 

In this experiment, two reactions will be studied. The first reaction is the dissolving process of solid ammonium nitrate NH4NO3.  Dissolving NH4NO3 is an endothermic reaction. This is the reaction often used in cold packs sold at drug stores. When NH4NO3 is dissolved in water in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature of water will drop. 

The second type of reaction that will be studied in this experiment is acid-base netrulization reactions. Two acid-base reactions can be studied. The first reaction is between a sodium hydroxide NaOH solution and a hydrochloric HCl solution:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ® NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

The second reaction is a NaOH solution reacting with an acetic acid CH3COOH solution:

NaOH(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ® CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l)

Neutralization reactions are exothermic. Mixing of a base solution and an acid solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter will make the temperature of the mixed solutions higher than those of the original base and acid solutions.

(2) Measure 25 mL of 1.0 M HCl in a clean graduated cylinder (Caution: HCl is a strong acid!). Allow to sit for 5 minutes and then record the temperature. The temperature of the HCl solution should be approximately the same as the NaOH solution.

IV. Principles, Procedures, and Practices

IV.1 Cu-Zn voltaic cell set-up and cell potential measurement

Procedure:

(1) Get two 250-ml clean beakers and pour about 100 ml 1.0 M ZnSO4 and 100 ml 1.0 M CuSO4 into these two beakers, respectively. 

(2) Following the following chart to connect Cu-Zn voltaic cell.

(3) Figure out the right wire connection.

(4) Measure the cell potential and record.

(5) Disconnect the cell wire connection. (Keep the solution for following operation.)

Attention:

(1) The electrode can't tough the salt-bridge;

(2) You can switch the wire connection to "+" and "-" in the voltmeter. The right connection will result in a positive reading in the meter. 

Information:

(1) With the right connection, the electrode connected to "+" position in the voltmeter is the cathode, and the electrode connected to "-" is the anode.

(2) Oxidation half-reaction always happens in anode and reduction half-reaction always happens in cathode.

(3) When oxidation happens, electrons are generated. When reduction happens, electrons are consumed.

Observation and record

(1) In this Zn-Cu voltaic cell, the cell potential measured by the voltmeter is: __________V.

(2) It is known
