The Common Ion Effect
When a compound containing an ion in common with a

equilibrium, the equilibrium shifts to the left. This
phenomenon is known as the

buffer
is a solution whose
pH changes very little
when acid or base is added.
Most buffers are solutions composed of roughly
equal amounts of:
•
A
weak acid
•
The salt of its
conjugate base
The buffer resists change in pH because
•
Added base, OH
−, reacts with the
weak acid
A
buffer
is a solution whose
pH changes very little
when acid or base is added.
When an acid or base is
added to water, the pH
changes drastically
When an acid or base is
added to a buffer
solution, the pH does
not change very much;
How Buffers Work
Most buffers consist of a pair of compounds, one with the ability to react
with OH
–(
weak acid
) and the other with the ability to react with H
+(its
conjugate base
OR
the
salt of its conjugate base
).
Thus, the components of a buffer solution are
acid-
base
conjugate pairs
which typically have equal concentrations of the weak acid and its salt
(can also be a weak base and a salt of its conjugate acid).
An example is a mixture of
acetic acid
and its salt,
sodium acetate
.

2H3O2(aq)
acetic acid HC2H3O2(aq)
acetic acid
+ OH–(aq) C
2H3O2–(aq) + H2O(l)
How Buffers Work
Buffer action occurs because the weak acid in a buffer neutralizes base, and the conjugate base in the buffer neutralizes acid. In this way, the pH of the solution is

Buffer Capacity
The
buffer capacity
is the amount of acid or base that a
solution can absorb without a significant change in pH.
Buffer capacity depends on the number of moles of weak
acid and conjugate base are present.
For equal volumes of solution,
the more concentrated the solution,
the greater the buffer capacity.
For solutions having the same concentration,
the greater the volume, the greater the buffer capacity.

Acid-Base Titrations are Used to Determine the
Concentration
of An Acid or Base in Solution
•
If we want to know the concentration
of an acid solution, a base of known
concentration is added slowly until the
acid is
neutralized
.
•
When the acid is neutralized:
# of moles of acid = # of moles of base
•
This is called the
end point
of the
End Point of Titration
•
An
indicator
is added to the solution in the flask. The indicator causes the solution to
change color when the solution is neutralized.
•
At the
end point
,
•
The indicator has a permanent color
•
The volume of the solution used to reach the end point is measured
Titration Problems are 3-Step
