If you add 5.00 ml of 0.100 m sodium hydroxide to 50.0 ml of acetate buffer that is 0.100 m in both acetic acid and sodium acetate, what is the ph of the resulting solution? acetic acid: ka = 1.8. x 10-5

see explanation ...

Explanation:

5.00ml(0.100M NaOH) + 0.100M HOAc/NaOAc Bfr

5.00ml(0.100M NaOH) = 0.005(0.100) mole NaOH = 0.0005 mole NaOH = 0.0005 mole OH⁻ in 55 ml Bfr solution (50ml + 5ml)=> [OH⁻] = (0.0005/0.055)M OH⁻ = 0.0091M OH⁻ ≈ 0.010M OH⁻ added into Bfr solution. The amount of OH⁻ added must be removed by H⁺ in the HOAc equilibrium; that is,  H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O leaving a void at the H⁺ position in the HOAc equilibrium. HOAc then decomposes to replace the H⁺ removed by the excess OH⁻ giving new H⁺ and OAc⁻ concentrations. Reaction shifts right => subtract 0.01M from HOAc side of equilibrium and add 0.01M to OAc⁻side of equilibrium and recompute the H⁺ concentration and new pH.

                 HOAc  ⇄        H⁺     +    OAc⁻

C(i)             0.10M         ~0M*         0.10M =>pH=-log(Ka)=-log(1.85x10⁻⁵)=4.73

ΔC              -0.01M          +x          +0.01M

C(eq)          0.09M            x             0.11M  => New HOAc equil. conc.

Ka = [H⁺][OAc⁻]/[HOAc]

=> x(0.11)/(0.09) = 1.85x10⁻⁵

=> x = [H⁺] = 0.09(1.85x10⁻⁵)/0.11 = 1.52x10⁻⁵M (after adding NaOH)

=> pH = -log[H⁺] -log(1.52x10⁻⁵) = 4.82 ( pH shifts to more basic value b/c of OH⁻ addition )

when atmosphere interacts with biosphere they focuses on on the sources and sinks of green house gases (ghgs) air pollutants, particular matters, water and energy between the earth's surface and the atmosphere. the biosphere affects the climate. the atmosphere and biosphere are in constant interaction with each other, and all living things rely on gases in the atmosphere for life. organisms such as animals take in oxygen gas form the atmosphere to use in every cell of their body for smooth functioning of daily routine exercises.
