a buffer solution contains 0.363 m hydrocyanic acid and 0.289 m sodium cyanide . if 0.0413 moles of potassium hydroxide are added to 250 ml of this buffer, what is the ph of the resulting solution ?

Respuesta :

pH of the resulting buffer solution is obtained by hendersons hasselbalch equation.

Buffer solution is water based solution which consists of a mixture containing a weak acid and a conjugate base of the weak acid. or a weak base and conjugate acid of a weak base.it is a mixture of weak acid and a base.

The pH of the buffer solution is determined by the expression of the henderson hasselbalch equation.

     pH=pKa +  log[(A-)/(HA)]

     Where, pKa =dissociation constant

                   A- = concentration of the conjugate base

                    [HA]= concentration of the acid

 Here, a buffer solution contains 0.363 m of hydrocyanic acid and 0.289 of sodium cyanide , if 0.0413 moles of potassium hydroxide is added to the250 ml of the buffer.

Initial mole of NH4+ = 0.363m .0.250l=0.090m

Initial mole of NH3= 0.289m .0.250l=0.072m

After addition of 0.0413m of potassium hydroxide, we will get the  final mole of HCN-  and the final mole of sodium cyanide.

Putting all the values in the henderson hasselbalch equation we find the pH of the buffer solution.
