One of the most common buffers used in protein chemistry is a weak base called TRIS (the nitrogen atom of the amino group is the basic portion of the molecule): Но. -NH2 (HOCH2);CNH2 = TRIS HO A biochemist prepares a buffer solution by adding enough TRIS and 12 M HCI to give 1.0 L of a buffer solution that has concentrations [TRIS] = 0.34 M and [TRISH*] = 0.71 M. (pKµ of TRIS is 5.91.) (a) Calculate the pH of the buffer solution.

For humans to maintain the pH of their blood close to 7.4, the body uses three buffer systems: carbonate, phosphate and proteins. If the pH of the blood goes below 6.8 or above 7.8, death may result. Imagine you want to make a phosphate buffer in the lab that resembles the bloods phosphate buffer. You start by mixing 0.95 M NaH2PO4 and 0.68 M Na2HPO4. H2PO4- + H2O ⇌ HPO42- + H+ pKa= 7.21 (5 marks total) a. From the reaction above indicate the weak acid and the conjugate base involved in making this buffer. (2 marks) b. Calculate the pH of the phosphate buffer solution. Provide your answer with 2 decimal places (2 marks) c. If the pH calculated in b. was the blood pH of an actual patient, would you say this patient’s blood pH is in the normal range or are they suffering from alkalosis or acidosis? (1 mark)
