  1. Chem. 31 12/6 Lecture

  2. Announcements I AA regrades Won t be ready until Monday I had planned to get feedback to students about how this could affect formal lab (students should still have a copy of spreadsheet and data) Remaining Lab Due Dates Formal Lab Report part B due today Soda Ash due 12/8 IC #2 due 12/8 All Resubmissions due 12/8

  3. Announcements II New Posted Material (Exam 2 key, HW solutions, working on S17 Final key) Final Exam Dec. 11, 10:15-12:15 Will allow you to bring in 1 sheet of notes (8.5 x11 or smaller) with notes 175 points; about half new material New material Starting with relative retention and band broadening in Ch. 23 Ending with Chapter 10 (ran out of time to get to titrations)

  4. Announcements III Today s Lecture Chapter 10 Polyprotic acids used to make buffers Monoprotic and Polyprotic acids in buffer solutions (if time) Review for Final Exam Bonus Point for completing evaluation on new lab: http://baseline.campuslabs.com/csus/siriuslcasfa17 Teaching Evaluations

  5. Chapter 10 Polyprotic Acids Use as Buffers Similar to buffers covered in Chapter 9 With most polyprotic acids where Ka1>> Ka2>> Ka3, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used with a single pKaselected) The only difficulty can be in deciding which species exist and how to get to those species Example 1: A mixture of 0.010 mol NaH2PO4and 0.045 mol Na2HPO4in 1.00 L solution. Determine the pH Example 2: How many mL of 1.00 M HCl needs to be added to 500 mL of 0.0080 M Na3PO4to get a pH = 6.5 buffer?

  6. Chapter 10 Polyprotic Acids Distribution of forms at fixed pH (e.g. when in a buffer) Let s start with monoprotic acid HA HA H++ A- Fraction present as HA = (HA) = [HA]/[HA]total= [HA]/([HA] + [A-]) Can calculate ratio ([A-]/[HA]) using Henderson- Hasselbalch equation, but other method calculating values is more general Go over method on board (A-) = Ka/([H+] + Ka) (can do derivation yourself)

  7. Chapter 10 Polyprotic Acids On to a diprotic acid H2A From H2A form + 2 [ ] H = H A + + + + 2 [ ] [ ] H K H K K 2 1 1 2 a a a From HA- form From A2- form + [ H ] K H = 1 [ a Notice that denominator is the same + + + + 2 HA [ ] ] H K K K 1 1 2 a a a Can you guess (A2-)?

  8. Chapter 10 Polyprotic Acids Alpha Plot Alpha for H2SO3 1.20E+00 pKa2 1.00E+00 8.00E-01 Alpha Value H2A 6.00E-01 HA- A2- 4.00E-01 2.00E-01 0.00E+00 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 pH pKa1

  9. Chapter 10 Polyprotic Acids Example Problems What is the concentration of CO32- if 1.0 x 10-4 moles of CO2 are dissolved into 1.0 L of a buffer at pH = 8.80? (for H2CO3, pKa1 = 6.35, pKa2 = 10.33.)

  10. Final Exam Review of New Topics Chapter 23 How to determine relative retention ( ) from chromatogram and what it is a measure of* How relative retention can be changed How to determine N and H for a column from chromatogram* How to determine resolution from chromatogram* What factors can be adjusted to improve resolution
