A student prepares a buffer by mixing 250.0 mL of 0.200 mol L⁻¹ ethanoic acid (Ka=1.8×10−5K_a = 1.8\times10^{-5}Ka=1.8×10−5) with 250.0 mL of 0.200 mol L⁻¹ sodium ethanoate.

To this buffer, 0.0100 mol of solid sodium hydroxide is added and allowed to dissolve completely.

The resulting solution is then diluted to exactly 1.000 L and analysed using a colorimeter. The absorbance of the ethanoate ion at a particular wavelength is found to be exactly 0.602 in a 1.00 cm cuvette. Under these conditions, the molar absorptivity of the ethanoate ion is 1.50×103 L mol−1cm−11.50\times10^3\ \text{L mol}^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}1.50×103 L mol−1cm−1.

Assuming all equilibria are established and all solutions behave ideally:

Question (8 marks)

""Determine the pH of the final solution.""


Why this is evil

To solve it, you must realise that:

  1. The NaOH reacts quantitatively with the weak acid.
  2. You must determine the new mole ratio in the buffer.
  3. You must use the absorbance data to verify the final concentration of ethanoate using the Beer-Lambert Law.
  4. You must recognise that dilution changes concentrations but not the acid/base mole ratio.
  5. You must then apply the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation.
  6. Any arithmetic error compounds through the entire problem.

This looks like a buffer question, but it secretly combines:

  • Weak acids
  • Buffer calculations
  • Stoichiometry
  • Beer-Lambert spectroscopy
  • Dilution
  • Equilibrium

pH=4.92
