Complex systems are defined as solutions made up of:

HCI + CH;COOH NaOH + CH;COƠ'
2) An acid or base that has two or more acidic
protons or basic functional groups

Trang 42 Equations for more than one equilibrium are required to describe the characteristics of any of these systems
Trang 53 Applications
1) We encounter these systems in most biological and environmental matrices
2) We need to predict which species will be
present (and in what amounts) 1s important in
defining biological acid/base buffering
3) We can use the titration curve to examine how
the species will change as we slowly add titrant (in other words, change the pH).

[H;0°] = Cyc: + [A] + [OH]
Since the HCI, which 1s completely dissociated, will repress the dissociation

Trang 34Because K,, for maleic acid is large, we must solve the quadratic equation
exactly or by successive approximations, When we do so, we obtain

Substitution of these values into the equilibrium-constant expression for K al
yields a tentative yalue of 5.2 X 10-* M for [H,O*] It is clear, however,
that the approximation [H,O* | <= ey, 4 Or Cyyy- is not valid; therefore Equa-
tions 10-6 and 10-7 must be used, and
[HM~| = 1,67 * 10-* + [H,0*+] — JOH-]
[H;M] = 6.67 * 10” = [HOT] + [OHTT
Because the solution is quite acidic, the approximation that [OH~ ] is very
small is surely justified Substitution of these expressions into the dissociation-
constant relationship gives
[H,O° ](1.67 X 10-2 + [H,0*]) 6.67 X 10°? — [H,0* |

Further additions of base to the solution create a new buffer system consist-
| ing of HM~ and M*~ When enough base has been added so that the reaction
of HM~ with water to give OH~ can be neglected (a few tenths of a milliliter
beyond the first equivalence point), the pH of the mixture is readily obtained
from K,, With the introduction of 25.50 mL of NaOH, for example,
Trang 38Second Equivalence Point VNaon = 29 90 mL
After the addition of 50.00 mL of 0.1000 M sodium hydroxide, the solution is
0.0333 M in Na,M Reaction of the base M*~ with water is the predominant
equilibrium in the system and the only one that we need to take into account

Further additions of sodium hydroxide repress the basic dissociation of M*
The pH is calculated from the concentration of NaOH added in excess of that
required for the complete neutralization of H,M Thus, when 51.00 mL of NaOH have been added, we have a 1.00 mL excess of 0.1000 M NaOH and
