Buffer Preparation and Capacity In lab this week you are going to prepare an assigned buffer solution and test the buffering capacity of the solution using strong acid (HCl) and strong base (NaOH). A buffered solution resists changes in pH when acids or bases are added or when dilution occurs. The buffer is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. The buffering capacity of a solution is determined using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation, and the closer the ratio of acid to conjugate base is to one the higher buffering capacity. A buffer also can consist of a weak base and its conjugate acid as well. pH = pKa + log ([A-] / [HA]) where [HA] = concentration of weak acid and [A-] = concentration of the conjugate base Buffer Systems Available in Lab: 1.

Other available solutions include: 0.1M HCl, 0.1M NaOH, 6 M HCl, and 6 M NaOH

Example calculation for preparing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution at pH = 6.80: (acid and base both available)

Now that you have what the concentrations of NaH2PO4·H2O and Na2HPO4 have to be to obtain the desired buffered solution. The grams of both compounds must be calculated in order to make 100.0 mL of buffer solution at the calculated concentrations. Once the mass of acid and conjugate base have been calculated, use the balance to obtain the calculated amount of acid and conjugate base. Both acid and conjugate base solids must be dissolved in ≈ 80 mL of water in a beaker. Once the solids are completely dissolved the pH of the solution is measured and adjusted to desired pH using 6 M HCl or 6 M NaOH. The solution at the desired pH is transferred into a 100.0 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark.

Example calculation for preparing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M Tris buffer solution at pH = 7.50: (only base available)

Once all calculations are complete, prepare a plan of procedure to prepare your buffer solution, see above directions for preparing a buffer solution. The plan must be detailed and include all steps necessary to prepare the assigned pH buffer. Once the plan is approved by your instructor prepare the solution according to the plan of procedure. Test your buffer to see how well it resists changes in pH by developing a plan to test the buffered solution. Once the testing plan is approved by your instructor, test the solutions and record test results in your notebook in an easily understood format such as a table.
