Methodology

Repetition for different temperatures

  1. Change the Acetate buffer's temperature to 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, and 60.0°C, correspondingly, for each repetition of sections 6–7.
  2. Repeat section ① ~⑧.1 for two more times to maintain the accuracy by having three trials

1. about buffer solution

When small volumes of acidic or alkali are introduced to a solution, a buffer solution assists to limit the pH change (Neuss). The buffer solution is typically created by combining an aqueous solution of a weak base or acid with an equivalent solution of strong alkali or strong acid. Acetic acid (CH3COOH), a weak acid, sodium acetate (NaCH3COO), a salt of a weak acid, and a strong alkali will be used in this experiment. In the table below, in section [1], is the equation.


NaOH will be consumed by the reaction and CH3COOH will remain at a concentration of 0.500 mol because CH3COOH is the excess reactant and NaOH is the limiting reactant. NaCH3COO and H2O will therefore be generated in an amount of 0.500 mol. A weak acid and its salt, which is made from a weak acid and a strong base, are both present in equal proportions in the final solution. Referring to [1],


Additionally, since CH3COOH is a weak acid when combined with NaCH3COO, equilibrium will be to the left. (Use the equation in [2] as a guide.) Due to this, the concentration of CH3COOH is increased.


CH3COO-(aq), on the other hand, is a soluble salt and is completely dissociated in the solution (Refer to the equation in [3]). As a result, the mixture contains significant amounts of both the conjugate base CH3COO- and the acid CH3COOH.


The buffer solution will react with the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce sodium acetate and water. (See equation [4]) As H+(aq) is withdrawn from the solution by interacting with OH- to create H2O (l), the pH initially rises (Neuss).

Introduction

In my chemistry lesson in the fall of 2020, I learned about the buffer solution. As I studied, I discovered how my body's buffer system functions. I was interested to know if blood pH is affected by body warmth. I, therefore, attempted to conduct the experiment involving the change in buffer temperature.


I want to gradually raise the temperature of the buffer solution during this IA by 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, and 60.0 °C while monitoring the pH change until the buffer achieves a pH of 12. Then, I want to measure the temperature dependency of the buffer solution and use equation [10] to compute the buffer capacity.


 \([10]\ β=\frac {n}{ Δ𝑝H}\)

2. buffer capacity and aka

The amount of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions that a buffer can hold without causing a pH shift is known as buffer capacity (Manik). The formula for determining the buffer capacity is shown in [10]. The amount of NaOH added to the acetate buffer solution ("n") to get it to pH 12 is given. The pH difference between the initial and final pHs should be between 3 and 12. The acetate buffer may require more NaOH to be added until it reaches a pH of 12 as the temperature rises. Since the numerator rises and pH should remain nearly constant, the buffer's capacity should rise as well. (Shadi)

Prepare naoh solution

  1. Pour 500cm³ of 1.00 mol dm-³ NaOH into the1dm³ beaker
