Experiment 3. Influence of dilution on buffer capacity
In a flask, prepare 15 ml of acetate buffer with pH
0
= 5 (mix 9.6 ml 0.1 mol/l
CH
3
COONa and 5.4 ml 0.1 mol/l CH
3
COOH). 5 ml of the solution is transferred
to another flask and add to this volume 5 ml of distilled water. Both solutions
are gently titrated with 0.1 M NaOH in the presence of a methyl red indicator
(3 drops) until the lemon-yellow color appears (pH = 6.2). Titration is repeated
2 times. The average alkali volume is taken for calculation. Calculate the buffer
capacity of solutions in alkali (mmol/l) according to the formula:
С
NaOH
– normality of alkali solution, mol/l; V
NaOH
– volume of alkali solution needed for
titration, l; V
buff
is the volume of the buffer solution, l; pH
0
and pH
1
– the pH value of the
buffer, respectively, before and after the addition of alkali to it.
Experience № 4. Determination of the buffer capacity of blood serum
Pour 5 ml of blood serum (рH
0
= 7.36) in two flasks for titration. Then two
drops of phenolphthalein indicator are added to one flask and titrated with 0.1 M
NaOH until a weak pink staining (pH
1
= 9.1). Two drops of methyl orange are
added to the other flask and titrated with 0.1 M HCl until orange-pink staining
appears (pH
2
= 3.7). Calculate the buffer capacity of blood serum for alkali and
acid by the formulas:
Based on the results obtained, make a conclusion.
