• An acid/base indicator is a weak organic acid
or a weak organic base whose undissociated
form differs in color from its conjugate form.

8B-1 Titrating a Strong Acid with a Strong
Base
• Each calculation corresponds to a distinct
stage in the titration: (1) preequivalence, (2)
equivalence, and (3) postequivalence.

8B-1 Titrating a Strong Acid with a
Strong Base
• Before the equivalence point, we calculate the
pH from the molar concentration of unreacted
acid.
• At the equivalence point, the solution is
neutral and pH=7.00.
• Beyond the equivalence point, we first
calculate pOH and then pH. Remember that
pH=pKw - pOH=14.00 - pOH.

8C-2 What Are the Unique Properties of
Buffer Solutions?
• The buffer capacity of a buffer is the number
of moles of strong acid or strong base that
causes one liter of the buffer to change pH by
one unit.
• It is related to the total concentration of the
buffering species as well as to their
concentration ratio.

Example 8-5
• Calculate the pH change that takes place when a
100-mL portion of (a) 0.0500M NaOH and (b) 0.0500
M HCl is added to 400 mL of the buffer solution that
contains 0.200M in NH3 and 0.300 M in NH4Cl.
• (a) Addition of NaOH converts part of the NH4+ in the
buffer to NH₃ :
NH4+ + H2O ↔ NH3 + H3O+ Ka = 5.70 x 10 -10

Buffer Solutions?
• Preparing Buffers
• we prepare buffers by making up a solution of
approximately the desired pH and then adjust
by adding acid or conjugate base until the
required pH is indicated by a pH meter.
