Product Details

Classic AP Requirement #19—Preparation and Properties of Buffer Solutions

In this laboratory, students investigate the properties of buffer solutions. The students make two ideal buffer solutions, one consisting of a weak acid and its conjugate base and the other, a weak base and its conjugate acid. The initial pH of each solution is determined. Strong acid and strong base are then added to each buffer in a series of steps, with the pH determined after each addition. The resulting pH values after each addition are compared to calculated values for each buffer. A challenging lab to test students’ understanding of pH and buffer chemistry.

Complete for 24 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-1: Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
HS-PS1-2: Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
HS-PS1-5: Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
HS-PS1-7: Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
