  • pH calculations for buffers, mixtures of acids and bases

    First, let's rewrite the chemical equation for the equilibrium between weak acid and weak base. HCO3(1-) * CO3(2-) + H(1+) HCl is a strong acid. Will a strong acid react with the weak acid or weak base? It will react with the weak base.

  • Final pH of NaOH and HA when mixed

    In this exercise, students are asked to calculate the final pH when an unequal number of moles of a strong base NaOH and a weak acid HA are mixed, with the pKa of the weak acid given

  • Buffers and Buffer Type Solutions

    Here we have a weak acid being mixed with a strong base, finding moles of each species is necessary here to enter into the ICE table.

  • Strong and Weak Acids

    This means that there will be HA, H+, and A- all in solution. HA (aq) -> H+ (aq) + A- (aq) When you have a weak acid, you need to use the Henderson-Hassalbach equation to calculate the pH.

  • Acid-Base Reaction

    Acid-Base Reaction • A neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction between a strong acid and a strong base. When a strong acid is mixed with a strong base, the result is a soluble salt and water.

  • Acid/Base Chemistry Problems

    b) Looking at the start of the curve -when no base is added, we can see the pH of the pure acid, and since we know that it is monoprotic we can calculate the Ka from these values.

    523031 Examples of Strong and Weak Acids and Bases and Buffers This solution is an answer to finding the pH of a solution if it is either a strong acid/base or a weak acid/base or a buffer containing a weak acid and its conjugate or weak base and it's

  • Buffers

    When an excess acid is added to the buffer system it reacts with the base present, resulting in minimal pH changes. Similarly when a base is added it reacts with the acid present in the buffer and maintains the pH.

  • Organic Chemistry: Acids and Bases and Bases

    The remaining ones are weak bases. You can calculate the concentrations by setting up the equilibrium expression and making some assumptions. The assumptions are different depending on if you have a strong/weak acid/base. 4.
