Solutions of Acids or Bases Containing a Common Ion
Common Ion Effect
• Shift in equilibrium position that occurs because
of the addition of an ion already involved in the
equilibrium reaction.
• An application of Le Châtelier’s principle.

Section 15.1
Solutions of Acids or Bases Containing a Common Ion
Example
HCN(aq) + H2O(l)
H3O+(aq) + CN-(aq)
• Addition of NaCN will shift the equilibrium to the
left because of the addition of CN-, which is
already involved in the equilibrium reaction.
• A solution of HCN and NaCN is less acidic than
a solution of HCN alone.

Key Points about Buffered Solutions
• Buffered Solution – resists a change in pH.
• They are weak acids or bases containing a
common ion.
• After addition of strong acid or base, deal with
stoichiometry first, then the equilibrium.

acid–base pair), all solutions that have the
same ratio [A–] / [HA] will have the same pH.

Buffered Solution Characteristics
• Buffers contain relatively large amounts of weak
acid and corresponding conjugate base.
• Added H+ reacts to completion with the
conjugate base.
• Added OH reacts to completion with the weak
acid.

Solutions
Buffered Solution Characteristics
• The pH in the buffered solution is determined by
the ratio of the concentrations of the weak acid
and weak base. As long as this ratio remains
virtually constant, the pH will remain virtually
constant. This will be the case as long as the
concentrations of the buffering materials (HA
and A– or B and BH+) are large compared with
amounts of H+ or OH– added.

Section 15.3
The Mole Capacity
Buffering
• The amount of protons or hydroxide ions the
buffer can absorb without a significant change
in pH.
• Determined by the magnitudes of [HA] and [A–].
• A buffer with large capacity contains large
concentrations of the buffering components.

Section 15.3
The Mole Capacity
Buffering
• Optimal buffering occurs when [HA] is equal to
[A–].
• It is for this condition that the ratio [A–] / [HA] is
most resistant to change when H+ or OH– is
added to the buffered solution.

Buffering
Choosing a Buffer
• pKa of the weak acid to be used in the buffer
should be as close as possible to the desired
pH.

Section 15.4
Titrations and pH Curves
Titration Curve
• Plotting the pH of the solution being analyzed
as a function of the amount of titrant added.
• Equivalence (Stoichiometric) Point – point in the
titration when enough titrant has been added to
react exactly with the substance in solution
being titrated.
