Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.122QP
In principle, amphoteric oxides, such as Al2O3 and BeO, can be used to prepare buffer solutions because they possess both acidic and basic properties (see Section 15.11). Explain why these compounds are of little practical use as buffer components.

An analytical chemist is titrating 113.4 mL of a 0.7600M solution of ammonia (NH3) with a 0.7300M solution of HNO3. The p K, of ammonia is
4.74. Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added 136.2 mL of the HNO3 solution to it.
Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of HNO3 solution added.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
pH = 0
Metabolic acidosis. As we will see later in the course, pathological conditions arise where the blood pH falls because of excess acid production, a condition called metabolic acidosis. Excess protons in the blood decrease the amount of HCO3− and thus reduce the buffering capacity of blood. A rapid drop in pH could lead to death. Normal values for blood are: pH = 7.4, [HCO3−] = 24.0 mM, [CO2] = 1.20 mM.✓ 6
(a) If a patient has a blood pH = 7.03 and [CO2] = 1.2 mM, what is the [HCO3−] in the patient’s blood? The pKa of HCO3−= 6.1.
(b) Suggest a possible treatment for metabolic acidosis.
(c) Why might the suggestion for part (b) be of benefit to middle-distance runners?
Phenolphthalein is another pH indicator. In solution, it's colorless, but its ion is fuchsia. Ionization changes the compound's color. It is colorless between pH of 1 and 8.2, fuchsia between 8.3 and 10, and colorless above 10. At pH less than 1, the color turns orange-red, as in sulfuric acid. However, not all strong acids will exhibit this color. What are the chemical equations that show the color change of dropping Phenolphthalein to NaOH, KOH, and a very acidic solution from:
NaOH and KOH
Colorless to Fuchsia
Fuchsia to Colorless
Very acidic solution
Colorless to red-orange

- The simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, -NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, -CO2H. An amino acid can function as either an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid. CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3.
