Recommend a buffering capacity and maximum buffering capacity for each buffer. Start by locating their corresponding pKa values in your textbooks or online sources. (eg. Campbell's Biochemistry, 9th ed or the latest ed.). Buffer Components Ammonium/Ammonia buffer Lactic acid/Lactate buffer Phosphoric acid/hydrogen PO4 buffer Benzoic acid/Benzoate buffer pk value Answer: Why? Buffering Capacity Maximum Buffering Capacity Follow-up question: Which of these buffers would you use if you need to carry out a PCR reaction using Taq polymerase which has an optimum pH at 7.2? Suggest only one buffer.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
