CHEM 123 Solution to Ques 16.65 from Wiley #12

16.65 A student added 100 mL of 0.10 M NaOH to 250 mL of a buffer that contained 0.15 M HC2H3O2 and 0.25 M C2H3O2−. What is the concentration of HC2H3O2 after the addition of the strong base.

Begin by writing the equation for the buffer (acid dissociation of the weak acid)

HC2H3O2 + H2O H3O + + C2H3O2- Ka = 1.8 × 10-5

Initial amounts in the solution are:

# mol C2H3O2- = (0.25 mol/L)(0.25 L) = 0.063 mol C2H3O2-

# mol HC2H3O2 = (0.15 mol/L)(0.25 L) = 0.038 mol HC2H3O2

The added base (0.100 L)(0.10 mol/L) = 0.010 mol NaOH) will react with the acetic acid present in the buffer solution: NaOH + HC2H3O2 ⎯→ H2O + NaC2H3O2

Assume the added base reacts completely (since it's a strong base with a weak acid). For each mole of base added, one mole of HC2H3O2 is converted to C2H3O2-. Since 0.010 mol of base is added, 0.010 mol of HC2H3O2 will be depleted from the initial amount (0.038 mol) and 0.010 mol C2H3O2− ADDITIONAL produced in this reaction (added to the initial amount of 0.063 mol C2H3O2−):

# mol HC2H3O2final = (0.038 - 0.010) mol = 0.028 mol

# mol C2H3O2-final = (0.063 + 0.010) mol = 0.073 mol

The final volume of solution is 250 mL + 100 mL = 350 mL.

AFTER the reaction with NaOH, the concentrations become…

[HC2H3O2] = 0.028 mol/0.350L = 0.080 M HC2H3O2

[C2H3O2−] = 0.073 mol/0.350L = 0.21 M C2H3O2−

In Wiley #12, the question asked only what the concentration of acetic acid becomes, so this would be the answer: 0.080 M. (The optional given you in Wiley was 0.079 M.)

In the actual question in the book, it went further and asked you what is the CHANGE in concentration of HC2H3O2 and C2H3O2−, so you would simply go one further step:

Initial conc of HC2H3O2 was 0.15M

Change in conc = 0.15−0.080 = 0.0.07 M decrease in [HC2H3O2]

Initial conc of C2H3O2− was 0.25M

Change in conc = 0.25M − 0.21 Μ = 0.04 Μ decrease in [C2H3O2−]

A student carelessly inserts the thermometer while assembling the calorimeter and a large hole is torn in the plastic lid. how will this affect his experimental results?

The results will be inaccurate due to the escape of heat. As the heat is created from the burning of the substance, it instead of being contained and measured (by the thermometer) some of that heat will escape through the hole in the lid, which will negatively impact the results.


Describe the change in the rate of reaction when the enzyme concentration is increased?

The increase of enzyme concentration increase the rate of reaction. Given a fixed amount of substrates, it means that the substrates will be digested faster as there are more enzymes to do the work. Substrate concentration, temperature, and pH value of the surrounding where the enzymes work on also affects the rate.


What to do if an accident occurs in a chemical laboratory?

Pour lots of distilled water on the spill to dilute the solution to a lower concentration so that it is safe to wipe up. The above statement depends on the substance that was spilled but I'm assuming because this was posted in "Science" your probably a high school student and wont be dealing with anything to dangerous, so dilution is the way to go.


How a solute affects the boiling point of a solution?

The addition of a non-volatile solute elevates the boiling point of a solution (in addition to the depression of freezing point). The formula is ΔT = Kbm where ΔT is the change in temperature, Kb is the ebullioscopic constant, and m is the molality (not molarity) of the solution.
