Common-ion Effect
Refers to decrease in solubility of an acid, base or ionic salt (i.e., one that dissociates in solution into
its ions) caused by the presence in solution of another solute that contains one of the same ions as the
salt. The common-ion effect is an example of chemical equilibrium.
Weak Acid and its Soluble Salt
For example, acetic acid, CH3COOH, is a weak acid that in solution slightly dissociates into the
hydronium H3O+ and acetate, CH3COO-, the equilibrium state being represented by the equation
CH3COOH + H2O
H3O+ + CH3COO
According to Le Chtelier's principle, when a stress is placed on a system in equilibrium, the system
responds by tending to reduce that stress. In the system taken as an example, if another solute
containing one of those ions is added, e.g., sodium acetate, NaCH3COO, which supplies CH3COO
ions, the solubility equilibrium of the solution will be shifted to remove more CH3COO from the
solution, so that at the new equilibrium point there will be fewer CH3COO ions in solution and more
undissociated CH3COOH in the solution.
Weak Base and its Soluble Salt
For example, ammonia, NH3, which is a weak base that in solution slightly dissociates into the
hydronium NH4+ and hydroxide, OH-, the equilibrium state being represented by the equation
NH3 + H2O
NH4+ + OH
According to Le Chtelier's principle, when a stress is placed on a system in equilibrium, the system
responds by tending to reduce that stress. In the system taken as an example, if another solute
containing one of those ions is added, e.g., ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, which supplies NH4+ ions, the
solubility equilibrium of the solution will be shifted to remove more NH4+ from the solution, so that at
the new equilibrium point there will be fewer NH4+ ions in solution and more undissociated NH3 in the
solution.
Insoluble Metal Salt and another same Soluble Metal Salt
For example, silver chloride, AgCl, is a slightly soluble salt that in solution dissociates into the
ions Ag+ and Cl-, the equilibrium state being represented by the equation AgClsolid ~Ag++Cl-. According
to Le Chtelier's principle, when a stress is placed on a system in equilibrium, the system responds by
tending to reduce that stress. In the system taken as an example, if another solute containing one of
those ions is added, e.g., sodium chloride, NaCl, which supplies Cl- ions, the solubility equilibrium of
the solution will be shifted to remove more Cl- from the solution, so that at the new equilibrium point
there will be fewer Ag+ ions in solution and more AgCl precipitated out as a solid.
Hydrolysis of a Salt
A salt is an ionic compound containing positive ions other than H+ and negative ions other than
OH. Most salts will dissociate to some degree when placed in water. In many cases, ions from the salt
will react further with water to produce hydronium ions or hydroxide ions. Any chemical reaction of
ions with water is called a hydrolysis reaction.
1) Salt of strong acid and strong base forms ions which are neutral.
2) Salt of weak acid and strong base forms ions which are basic.
3) Salt of strong acid and weak base forms ions which are acidic.
4) Salt of weak acid and weak base forms ions which are either
neutral, basic or an acidic depending on the relative strengths of the
acid and the base.
Buffer Solution
A buffer solution are usually combinations of weak acid/soluble-salt or weak base/ soluble-salt
combinations Buffers resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it.
Acidic buffer solutions
An acidic buffer (weak base/ soluble-salt: NH3/NH4Cl ) solution is simply one which has a pH less
than 7. Acidic buffer solutions are commonly made from a weak acid and one of its salts - often a
sodium salt.
A common example would be a mixture of ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate in solution. In this case,
if the solution contained equal molar concentrations of both the acid and the salt, it would have a pH of
4.76. It wouldn't matter what the concentrations were, as long as they were the same.
You can change the pH of the buffer solution by changing the ratio of acid to salt, or by choosing a
different acid and one of its salts.
Describe the (buffer effect) of common ions in the solutions containing following:
a) Basic buffer: weak acid/soluble-salt of a weak acid; HC2H3O/NaC2H3O.
b) Acidic buffer: weak acid/soluble-salt of a weak base; NH3/NH4Cl.
a) Basic buffer: weak acid/soluble-salt of weak acid; HC2H3O2/NaC2H3O2.
The main equilibrium in this system is:
H2O + C2H3OHO- + HC2H3O2 ( acid dissociation )
common ion
The common ion C2H3O- will decrease the [HO-] increasing pH of the solution. This solution can act
as a buffer for changes in pH. If the pH of the solution is increased (adding more HO-) this equilibrium
will shift to left to maintain the original pH. If the pH of solution is decreased (adding H+) the
equilibrium will shift to right to remove extra H+.
:
b) Acidic buffer: weak acid/soluble-salt of weak base; NH3/NH4Cl
NH3 + H2O
NH4+ + OH- (base dissociation)
The main equilibrium in this system is:
H2O +
NH4+
H3+O + NH3
common ion
The common ion NH4+ will increase the H+ or [H+3O] decreasing pH of the solution. Similar to 6a
[HC2H3O2/NaC2H3O2] this equilibrium can buffer changes in pH.
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
According to the Brnsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, an acid (HA) is capable of donating a
proton (H+) and a base (B) is capable of accepting a proton. After the acid (HA) has lost its proton, it is
said to exist as the conjugate base (A-). Similarly, a protonated base is said to exist as the conjugate
acid (BH+).
The dissociation of an acid can be described by an equilibrium expression:
Acid:
HA + H2O
H3O + A
[H3+O][ A]
; Ka = --------------[HA]
Consider the case of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and acetate anion (CH3COO-):
CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l)
CH3COOH(aq); Ka =
[H3+O ][ CH3COO]
----------------------[HC2H3O2]
Acetate is the conjugate base of acetic acid. Acetic acid and acetate are a conjugate acid/base pair. We
can describe this relationship with an equilibrium constant:
In this example, we will use Ka for the acid dissociation constant. Taking the negative log of both sides
of the equation gives:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to prepare buffer solutions and to estimate charges on
ionizable species in solution, such as amino acid side chains in proteins. Caution must be exercised in
using this equation because pH is sensitive to changes in temperature and salt concentration in the
solution being prepared.
Buffering Capacity
Buffer capacity is defined as the amount of H+ or OH- a buffered solution can absorb without
significantly changing the pH. Capacity determined by magnitude of [HA] and [A-], lager the
concentrations of them higher the buffer capacity.
How is Henderson-Hesselbalch equation is used to calculate pH and pOH of buffer solutions.
If the concentration of the acid and the conjugate base is known in a buffer solution, the pH of the
solution can be calculated using a general equation called Henderson-Hesselbalch equation.

For a weak base (NH3) or acid (HC2H3O2) with Kb or Ka ,respectively, the value of Ka or Kb for the
corresponding conjugate acid (NH4+ ) or base (C2H3O2-) can be calculated from the following
expression:
Kb x Ka = Kw
Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by adding 50 g of NH4Cl and 32.5g of NH3 and diluted to

Suppose that we increase the concentration of H3O+. Then if we apply LeChatelier's principle, the
result should be more HIn.
There will be more H3O+ (because we added more), but the system will respond to:
There will be less H3O+ (because we removed it), but the system will respond to try and:
Using pH titration curves in section 17.2 page 786 explain the selection process of an indicator
for a titration involving the following:
At the equivalence point the concentration of the salt solution of NaC2H3O can be calculated as shown
below:
Concentration of both HC2H3O2 and NaOH solutions are equal to 0.10 M. The volumes of HC2H3O2
and NaOH that will react at the equivalence point will also be equal since both HC2H3O2 and NaOH
have one H and OH groups to produce water. Therefore, the final volume of the mixture would be 100
mL (50 mL 0.10 M HC2H3O2 + 50 mL 0.10 M NaOH = 100 mL salt solution) The amount of
NaC2H3O2 formed is equal to either HC2H3O2 or NaOH added. Basically volume of the final
solution has been doubled. Therefore, the concentration NaC2H3O2 is half the concentration of either
HC2H3O2 or NaOH solution. i.e. 0.10 M ) 2 = 0.05 M NaC2H3O2 .
To calculate the pH of 0.05 M NaNC2H3O2 (Similar to a previous problem in Chapter 16:What is the
pH of a 0.05 M NaC2H3O2 salt solution?)
At the equivalence point pH =8.72 since the salt NaC2H3O2 forms a basic solution. Last drop of
HC2H3O2 added will change the pH of the solution in the range 8-10. Therefore, any indicator that
changes color in this (pH 8-10) range could be used to get the equivalence point accurately. The pH
rage for the color change for a list of indicators are given in the textbook
The indicators, thymol blue (8.0-9.6), phenolphthalein (8.2-10.0) and thymolphthalein (9.4-10.6)
could be used in this titration.
c) Strong acid/weak base
The solution is neutral at the equivalence point because the salt of a weak acid and a weak base forms
a neutral, a basic or an acidic solution depending on the relative strengths of the acid and the base.
Since both HC2H3O2 and and NH4 OH (NH3) have identical Ka and Kb values their strength are equal
making the solution neutral. The last drop of HC2H3O2 added will change the pH of the solution in the
range 6-8. Therefore, any indicator that changes color in this (pH 4-6) range could be used to get the
equivalence point accurately. The pH rage for the color change for a list of indicators are given in page
675, section 15.9 of Ebbing.
The indicators, litmus (5.0-8.0) and bromothymole blue (6.0-7.6) could be used in this titration.
Titration Curves of Polyprotic Acids
Similar to monoprotic acids, except that two equivalence points are seen. The equivalence points of a
polyprotic acid/ base reaction can be determined using an indicator. In alternative experiment way
monitoring the changes in pH that occurs during the titration of a weak polyprotic acid with a strong
base could also be used to find equivalence points. At the equivalence point one should expect to see a
dramatic change in pH as the solution goes from acidic to strongly basic.
Depicted on the left is an idealized pH titration curve for a weak diprotic acid such as H2SO3. The first
thing that you should notice is that there are two regions where we see a significant pH change. These,
if you wish, correspond to two separate titrations. Titration 1 is the reaction of the first proton with the
base (in this case sodium hydroxide)
Solubility of Salts
Solubility of a solute in a solvent is the number of grams of solute necessary to saturate 100 grams of
solvent at a particular temperature.
Solubility product:
Solubility product is defined as the product of ionic concentration when dissolved ions and undissolved ions are in equilibrium.
In other words, When a saturated solution of sparingly or slightly soluble salt is in contact with
un- dissolved salt, an equilibrium is established between the dissolved ions and the ions in the solid
phase of the un-dissolved salt. Ionic product at this stage is called solubility product.
Symbol: It is denoted by Ksp
Determination of solubility product:
a Mc+(aq) + b Xd-(aq)
MaXb(aq)
Ksp=
[Mc+]a[Xd-]b
AgCl(s)
[Ag+][Cl-]
[AgCl]
Kc [AgCl] = Ksp =
[Ag+][Cl-]
Since AgCl is a solid there is no change in the concentration of salt (AgCl) at equilibrium.
Therefore
[AgCl] = C
Kc x C = [Ag+][Cl-]
Let Kc x C = Ksp
Therefore
Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-]
Ionic Product or Reaction Quotient (Qsp):
As we discussed already under equilibrium reactions the product of ionic concentration other than
equilibrium is called reaction quotient or ionic product.
Applications of solubility product:
Knowledge of solubility product is very useful, to determine whether precipitates will be obtained or
not by the addition of more amount of solute to the solution. There are three conditions:
When Ksp> ionic product (Qsp) (unsaturated):
If solubility product is greater than the ionic product then reaction will shift to right and more will be
dissolved and no precipitate will form.
When Ksp< ionic product (Qsp) (supersaturated):
If solubility product is less than the ionic product then reaction will shift to left and precipitate will
form.
When Ksp= ionic product (Qsp):
In this condition solution is in equilibrium with solid salt and ions and further addition will cause
precipitates.
The Common Ion Effect and Precipitation Reactions
The solubility of insoluble substances can be decreased or made to precipitate by the presence of a
common ion. AgCl will be our example.
Present in silver chloride are silver ions (Ag+) and chloride ions (Cl). Silver nitrate (which is soluble)
has silver ion in common with silver chloride. Sodium chloride (also soluble) has chloride ion in
common with silver chloride.
In fact, mixing sufficiently concentrated solutions of AgNO3 and NaCl will produce a precipitate of
AgCl. In order to be sufficiently concentrated, the product of the [Ag+] and the [Cl] must exceed the
Ksp of 1.77 x 1010.
Here is the example problem: AgCl will be dissolved into a solution with is ALREADY 0.0100 M in
chloride ion. What is the solubility of AgCl?
In solubility problems, the source of the chloride is from soluble chloride salt, NaCl because very little
is coming from the insoluble salt, AgCl. Let us assume the chloride came from some dissolved sodium
chloride, sufficient to make the solution 0.0100 M. So, on to the solution .
The dissociation equation for AgCl is:
AgCl (s)
Ksp = [Cu2+][OH-]2
Ksp = [Ca2+][CO32-]
Ksp = [Ca2+]3[PO43-]2
Note: The S2- (aq) is very unstable in water and converts to HS- and gives OH- (aq).
MnS (s) + H2O (l) Mn2+ (aq) + HS- (aq) + OH- (aq)
[i.e., S2- (aq) + H2O (l) HS- (aq) + OH- (aq)]
Ksp = [Mn2+][HS-][OH-]
The greater is Ksp, the more soluble the substance is.
