#34. A buffer solution contains 0.71 mol of hydrogen peroxide
(HOOH) and 0.41 mol of sodium hydrogen peroxide (NaOOH) in 7.60
L.
The Ka of hydrogen peroxide (HOOH) is Ka =
2.4e-12.
(a) What is the pH of this buffer?
pH = ___
(b) What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.36 mol of
NaOH? (assume no volume change)
pH = ___
(c) What is the pH of the original buffer after the addition of
0.28 mol of HI? (assume no volume change)
pH = ___
34
a) pH of buffer = pka + log(salt/acid)
pka = -logka
= -log(2.4*10^-12)
= 11.62
[salt] = [NaOOH] = 0.41 mole
[acid] = [H2O2] = 0.71 mole
pH = 11.62 + log(0.41/0.71)
= 11.38
b) pH of buffer = pka + log(salt+NaOH/acid-NaOH)
pH = 11.62 + log((0.41+0.36)/(0.71-0.36))
= 11.96
c) pH of buffer = pka + log(salt-HCl/acid+HCl)
pH = 11.62 + log((0.41-0.36)/(0.71+0.36))
= 10.29
