1. Complete the following tables. Replace the volumes given in each table with the volumes that
you actually recorded in your lab notebook. Note that 1 mmol = 10-3 mol

2. For each of these tables, construct a graph of pH vs. amount of titrant in mmol following the
given example. Make sure figure captions accurately reflect what is being shown in graph.

HCl with 0.1 M NaOH.

Figure 3: Titration of 20 mL of Buffer Solution with 0.1 M NaOH

 Figure 4: Titration of 20 mL of Buffer Solution with 0.1 M HCl

3. Use the pH of the buffer solution to calculate its pK a. Show work.

pH =pKa + log [A-/AH]

pKa=pH - log [A-/AH] = 5.05 – log [0.1/0.1]

pKa=5.05

4. (a) How many moles of NaOH does it take to completely consume the conjugate acid in the
buffer? Show work.

pH =pKa + log [A-/AH]

7=5.05 + log [x/.0075]

x=2.81*10--5

(b) How many moles of HCl does it take to completely consume the conjugate base in the buffer?
Show work.

7=5.05 + log [.0025/x]

X=0.22 mol

5. From a chemistry perspective, explain the trends observed in each graph. Be sure to reference
which figure you’re discussing for clarity (i.e. “In Figure 1, the pH of the solution remains fairly
constant with added NaOH until…”). Make sure you provide a rationale for the shape and trend
for each graph. Do the graphs in Figures 3 and 4 reflect your answers to question 4? Explain.

In 1, 2, and 3, the standard steep jump with most buffers is followed. In one its constant unitl just
over two then jumps to about 11. In 2 and 3 its constant until 7 then jumps to about 11 or 12. In 4
however, the pH steadily decreases with no jump, which is expected for an acid + a buffer.
