The glass electrode used in commercial pH meters gives an electrical response proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ion. To convert these responses to a pH reading, the electrode must be calibrated against standard solutions of known H+ concentration. Determine the weight in grams of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4 · H2O; FW 138) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4 ; FW 142) needed to prepare 1 L of a standard buffer at pH 7.00 with a total phosphate concentration of 0.100 M . See Problem 24 for the pKa values of phosphoric acid.
If a pharmacist needs to prepare a bacterial suspension with a concentration of 2.4x10^2 cfu using 1 mL of 2.4 x 10^4 bacterial suspension, what size of volumetric flask will she/he be needing?
The pH probe/meter uses following equations:
Ecell = L + 0.0592 log a1 = L - 0.0592 pH
Where L = L1 + EAg/AgCI + Easy= constants
L1 = - 0.0592 log a2
a1 = activity of analyte solution a2 = activity of internal solution
How will measured pH value be affected vs “real” pH if HCl in pH electrode, became 0.15M instead of 0.1M ?
a.impact can not be determined
b.measured pH is higher than "real" pH.
c.measured pH is lower than "real" pH.
d.measured pH is same as "real" pH.

- The isoelectric point of eIF4a is 5.02. Students are given a sample of cell lysate containing eIF4A at pH 7.4. They are also provided with two buffers of pH 7.4 to use for ion exchange chromatography. One buffer has a very high salt concentration (1 M), the other has a low salt concentration (0.1 M). Mariela decides to use an anion exchange column, while Ashok chooses a cation exchange column. Who made the better decision? Provide a detailed explanation of why one student will end up with a purer sample of eIF4A. Which buffer will you use while washing away impurities (high or low salt), and which would you use to remove eIF4A from the column?
