Question

Transcribed Image Text:You are interested in using lactic acid (pka 3.1) as a buffer for your
biochemical experiment. a) Would it be most useful for creating a buffered
solution at pH 2, 4 or 6? Explain. b) You decide to use lactic acid to make
1.5 L of 50.0 mM buffer at the pH you selected in part a. Determine the
concentrations of lactic acid and its conjugate base that are required.

If the final solution was 0.21 M in KH₂PO4, what concentration of Na₂HPO4 would you need? (pKą for H3PO4, H₂PO4¯¯, and HPO are 2.14, 6.86, and 12.40, respectively.) 2- Express your answer to two significant figures. Π| ΑΣΦ ?

Work all the parts to get the most points. a Identify the buffer system(s) - the conjugate acid - base pair(s) - present in a solution that contains equal molar amounts of the following: (Select all that apply.) HC1 KCN | HNO2 KNO2 b (Select all that apply.) OK,CO3 H,CO3 KF HFarrow_forwardLearning Goal: To calculate the pH at the equivalence point for various types of titrations. The equivalence point in an acid-base titration is the point at which stoichiometrically equivalent quantities of acid and base have been mixed together. At this point the reaction is complete because all analyte has been consumed by titrant. On a titration curve, the equivalence point is represented by the point of inflection (where the curve changes concavity). The figure (Figure 1) shows the titration of 40.0 mL of 0.100 M HCl with 0.100 M NaOH. When 40.0 mL of the NaOH solution is added, the acid-base neutralization reaction is complete. When analyzing titrations involving weak acids or bases, consider how the neutralization reaction will impact the pH of the system. For example, when titrating a weak acid with a strong base, at the equivalence point all the base has been used to neutralize the acid forming its conjugate weak base Figure E 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 0 Equivalence point 20.0 40.0 mL…arrow_forward
