(b) Tris buffer is normally used between pH values of 7.0 and 9.0. Calculate the ratio [Tris]/[TrisH+] at the extremes of the range. (c) A buffer is prepared by diluting 50.0 g Tris base and 65.0 g TrisHCI to a total volume of 2.0 L. What is the pH of the buffer? (d) What is the pH after 0.50 mL of 12 M HCI is added to a 200.0-mL portion of the buffer in part (c)?

A chemistry graduate student is given 500. mL of a 1.50M trimethylamine ((CH3)N solution. Trimethylamine is a weak 4 base with K, =7.4 × 10 *. what mass of (CH, NHB should the student dissolve in the (CH,) N solution to turn it into a 3 buffer with pH = 10.62? %3D You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the (CH,) NHB is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.

33.) A buffer solution contains 0.45 mol of hydrazoic acid (HN3) and 0.28 mol of sodium hydrazoate (NaN3) in 8.60 L. The Ka of hydrazoic acid (HN3) is Ka = 1.9e- 05.

Polymers are not very soluble in water, but their solubility increases if they have charged groups. (a) Case in, a milk protein,contains many —COO⁻ groups on its side chains. How does the solubility of casein vary with pH? (b) Histones are proteins es-sential to the function of DNA. They are weakly basic due to the presence of side chains with —NH2 and =NH groups. How does the solubility of a histone vary with pH?

Solution X is a 400 mL benzoate/benzoic acid buffer solution with a pH of 3.49. If the concentration of benzoic acid present in solution X is 0.3 mol L–1, calculate the concentration of sodium benzoate (in mol L–1) present in solution X at 25 °C. The Ka of benzoic acid is 6.5E-5.
Please provide detailed solution and give the explanation of the concept..... A 1.42 L buffer solution consists of 0.176 M butanoic acid and 0.280 M sodium butanoate. Calculate the pH of the solution following the addition of 0.077 moles of NaOH. Assume that any contribution of the NaOH to the volume of the solution is negligible. The Ka of butanoic acid is 1.52 × 10-5. Note: The buffer solution consists of the weak acid butanoic acid, C3H7COOH, and its conjugate base butanoate, C3H7COO–. The added NaOH, a strong base, will react with a stoichiometrically equivalent amount of butanoic acid to produce butanoate. Start by determining the initial amount, in moles, of butanoic acid and butanoate in the buffer solution before the addition of NaOH.
