: To learn the effect of adding strong acid,
D. BASIC THEORY
A buffer solution is a solution of a weak acid or a weak base and its salt; both
components must be present. The solution has the ability to resist changes in pH
upon the addition of small amounts of either acid or base. Buffers are very
important to chemical and biological systems. The pH in the human body varies
greatly from one fluid to another; for example, the pH of blood is about 7.4,
whereas the gastric juice in our stomachs has a pH of about 1.5. These pH values,
which are crucial for proper enzyme function and the balance of osmotic pressure,
are maintained by buffers in most cases.
A buffer solution must contain a relatively large concentration of acid to react
with any OH- ions that are added to it, and it must contain a similar concentration
of base to react with any added H+ ions. Furthermore, the acid and the base
components of the buffer must not consume each other in a neutralization
reaction. These requirements are satisfied by an acid-base conjugate pair, for
example, a weak acid and its conjugate base (supplied by a salt) or a weak base
and its conjugate acid (supplied by a salt).
A simple buffer solution can be prepared by adding comparable amounts of
acetic acid (CH3COOH) and its salt sodium acetate (CH3COONa) to water. The
equilibrium concentrations of both the acid and the conjugate base (from
CH3COONa) are assumed to be the same as the starting concentrations. A
solution containing these two substances has the ability to neutralize either added
[BUFFER SOLUTION]
acid or added base. Sodium acetate, a strong electrolyte, dissociates completely in
water:
CH3COONa(s)
CH3COO-(aq) +Na+(aq)
If an acid is added, the H- ions will be consumed by the conjugate base in the
buffer, CH3COO-, according to the equation
CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq)
CH3COOH(aq)
If a base is added to the buffer system, the OH - ions will be neutralized by the
acid in the buffer:
CH3COOH(aq) +OH-(aq)
CH3COO-(aq) +H2O(l)
The buffering capacity, that is, the effectiveness of the buffer solution,
depends on the amount of acid and conjugate base from which the buffer is made.
The larger the mount, the greater the buffering capacity. In general, a buffer
system can be represented as salt-acid or conjugate baseacid. Thus the sodium
acetateacetic acid buffer system discussed above can be written as
CH3COONa/CH3COOH or simply CH3COO-/CH3COOH.
Citric acid is a weak organic acid. It is a natural preservative/conservative and
is also used to add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks and cakes. In
biochemistry, the conjugate base of citric acid, citrate, is important as an
intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and therefore occurs in the metabolism of
virtually all living things. It can also be used as an environmentally benign
cleaning agent. It is very corrosive to the touch of the skin and can burn severely.
[BUFFER SOLUTION]
Citric acid exists in greater than trace amounts in a variety of fruits and
vegetables, most notably citrus fruits. Lemons and limes have particularly high
concentrations of the acid; it can constitute as much as 8% of the dry weight of
these fruits (about 47 g/L in the juices). The concentrations of citric acid in citrus
fruits range from 0.005 mol/L for oranges and grapefruits to 0.30 mol/L in lemons
and limes. Within species, these values vary depending on the cultivar and the
circumstances in which the fruit was grown.
Application of buffer solution in daily life, Buffer solutions are necessary
to keep the correct pH for enzymes in many organisms to work. Many enzymes
work only under very precise conditions; if the pH moves outside of a narrow
range, the enzymes slow or stop working and can denature, thus permanently
disabling their catalytic activity. A buffer of carbonic acid (H2CO3) and
bicarbonate (HCO3) is present in blood plasma, to maintain a pH between 7.35
and 7.45.
Industrially, buffer solutions are used in fermentation processes and in
setting the correct conditions for dyes used in colouring fabrics. They are also
used in chemical analysis and calibration of pH meters.
The majority of biological samples that are used in research are made in
buffers, especially phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4.

[BUFFER SOLUTION]
HCl the color changed become smooth orange and the pH is 3. Same with the fifth
experiment, it is include in buffer solution.
In the seventh experiment, tomato solution that are red react with universal
indicator the color become orange with the pH is 4, after added by HCl 40 drops
the color changed become smooth orange and the pH is 3. It is include buffer
solution like orange and pineapple.
In the eighth experiment, cucumber solution that are turbid when added by
universal indicator is yellow and the pH is 5 but after added by 60 drops of HCl
the color still yellow and the pH is 5 too. It is include buffer solution.
In the ninth experiment, soft drink that are colorless react with universal
indicator the color become orange and the pH is 3, after add by 42 drops of HCl,
the color become smooth orange and the pH is 2. It means that it is a buffer
solution because buffer is a solution that able to resist changes in pH upon the
addition of small amounts of either acid or base.
In the tenth experiment, aquades that are colorless react with universal
indicator the color become green and the pH is 7, after added by 23 drops of HCl
the color become pink and the pH is 4. Based on our result, the aquades that we
use is not include as buffer solution.
2. Effect of adding base strong.
In the first experiment, we react CH3COOH + CH3COONa that
colorless and drop universal indicator and the solution become green with
pH = 5 and after we drop with 6 drops of NaOH the color changed become
dark purple. It means that it is not a buffer solution because buffer solution
is a solution of a weak acid or a weak base and its salt and able to resist
changes in pH (we can see from our experiment if there is not change, its
means the value of pH is keep)upon the addition of small amounts of either
acid or base, so it solution is Buffer because in the first step we proven that
solution is Buffer
For the second experiment, it is about NH4OH react with NH4Cl that colorless
and directly become purple after we add by universal indicator it show that the pH
16
[BUFFER SOLUTION]
is 12 but after we add by 44 drops of NaOH the color change become dark purple.
It is include in buffer solution especially in base.
In the third experiment, we react NaCl with HCl that colorless and become
orange after we add by universal indicator and the pH is 4, and after we added 34
drops of NaOH the color become smooth purple. It is not buffer solution because
buffer is a solution that form if one of them is weak, but in this reaction is contain
of strong acid and strong base.
In the fourth experiment, it is about react NaCl with NaOH that are colourless
and become dark blue after we add by universal indicator with the pH is 11, but
after we add 10 drops of NaOH the color become blue Same with the third
experiment, it is not a buffer solution.
For the fifth experiment, when pineapple solution that are yellow react with
universal indicator the color become orange and the pH is 4. But after added by
NaOH 7 drops the color directly change become brown. It is a buffer solution
especially in acid because it can resist changes in pH upon the addition of small
amounts of either acid
In the sixth experiment, it is about orange solution that the first colour is
turbid react with universal indicator is become smooth orange with the pH is 3,
but after added by NaOH 50 drops the color change become smooth yellow. Same
with the fifth experiment, it is include in buffer solution.
In the seventh experiment, tomato solution that first color is red react with
universal indicator the color become orange with the pH is 4, after added by
NaOH 21 drops the color change become dark red and the pH is 13. It is include
buffer solution like orange and pineapple because in first step it can resist changes
in pH upon the addition of small amounts of either acid.
In the eight experiment, cucumber solution when add by universal
indicator is red and the pH is 4 but after add by 3 drops of HCl the color change
become pink and the pH is 3. after add by NaOH 1 drop the color directly change
become purple and the pH is 13.
In the ninth experiment, soft drink react that are colorless with universal
indicator, the color become orange and the pH is 2, after added by NaOH 15 drops
the color changed become blue. It means that it is a buffer solution because buffer

is a solution that able to resist changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts
of either acid or base.
In the tenth experiment, aquades that first color is colorless react with
universal indicator the color become green and the pH is 7. After added by NaOH
2 drop the color directly change become purple. Based on our result, the aquades
that we use is not include as buffer solution.

J. ANSWER of QUESTION :
QUESTION
1. Based on the third and fourth experiment, which one that you think is the
buffer solution?
2. What will happen if the solution of CH 3COOH + CH3COONa and NH4OH
+ NH4Cl are added by HCl into aech solution?
3. Just like the quastion number 2. But we replace the addition of HCl by
NaOH, what wil happen?
ANSWER
1. Based on the 3rd and 4th experiment, we get that the buffer solution
are: CH3COOH+CH3COONa solution, NH4OH+NH4Cl solution,
pineapple, orange, tomato, cucumber and soft drink
2. If we add HCl into solution of CH 3COONa + CH3COOH there will be
only a little changing of the pH after and before addition of HCl (it is
hard to change). And there will be pH changing but we need a lot of
HCl to be added. And it also happen when we add HCl into solution of
NH4OH + NH4Cl. It could happen because both of the solutions are
buffer. So the addition of HCl will change the pH hardly.
3. If we add NaOH into solution of CH3COOH + CH3COONa there will
be only a little changing of pH after and before addition of NaOH (it
is hard to change). And there will be pH changing but we need alot of
NaOH to be added. And it also happen when we add NaOh into
solution of NH4OH + NH4Cl. It could happen because both of the
solutions are buffer. So the addition of NaOH will change the pH
hardly
