How to determine if two solutions will make a buffer


Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 412 People


A buffer can be prepared by mixing two solutions. Determine if each of the following mixtures will result in a buffer solution or not.

1) Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HF with 100.0 mL of 0.05 M mol KF
A. "Yes, it will result in a buffer solution.",
B. "No, it will not result in a buffer solution."
2) Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M NH3 with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M NH4Br
A. "Yes, it will result in a buffer solution.",
B. "No, it will not result in a buffer solution."
3) Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCN with 100.0 mL of 0.05 M KOH
A. "No, it will not result in a buffer solution.",
B. "Yes, it will result in a buffer solution."]
4) Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCl with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M KCl
A. Yes, it will result in a buffer solution.",
B. No, it will not result in a buffer solution."]
5) Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCN with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M KOH
A. Yes, it will result in a buffer solution.",
B. No, it will not result in a buffer solution.

A weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid make up a buffer solution.

A buffer solution must consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. We shall now examine the solutions individually to ascertain which ones are buffer solutions;

  • Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HF with 100.0 mL of 0.05 M mol KF will result in a buffer solution because HF is a weak acid and F- is its conjugate base
  • Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M NH3 with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M NH4Br will result in a buffer solution because NH3 is a weak base and NH4+ is its conjugate acid
  • Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCN with 100.0 mL of 0.05 M KOH will not result in a buffer solution because HCN is a weak acid but its conjugate base is not present.
  • Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCl with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M KCl will not result in a buffer solution because HCl is a strong acid.
  • Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCN with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M KOH will not result in a buffer solution because HCN is a weak acid but its conjugate base is not present.
