COMMON ION/BUFFERS
A formic acid (HCHO2) solution has a pH of 3.25. Which of these substances raises the pH of the
solution upon addition? Explain.
HCl
NaBr
NaCHO2
KCl
Solve an equilibrium problem (i.e. use an ICE table) to calculate the pH of each solution:
a solution that is 0.20M in HCHO2 and 0.15M in NaCHO2
a solution that is 0.16M in NH3 and 0.22M in NH4Cl
Calculate the percent ionization of a 0.13MHCHO2 solution in pure water and also in a solution
containing 0.11MKCHO2. Explain the difference in percent ionization in the two solutions.
Use the Henderson-Hesselbalch equation to calculate the pH of each solution in problem 7
