Question
Ammonium acetate buffer is used as an important reagent for studying molecular biology, biological buffers, reagents and DNA and RNA purification. Ammonium acetate (0.24M) in combination with cold 66% (v/v) ethanol quantitatively precipitated RNA from very dilute solutions (greater than or equal to μg/ml) after centrifugation.
Ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4) is also a salt of weak acid (CH3COOH) and weak base (NH4OH). The Ka and Kb are equal to 1.8 x10-5. The pH of this salt solution will be,
a. |
pH > 7 |
|
b. |
pH ≈ 7 |
|
c. |
pH < 7 |
|
d. |
both cation and anion don’t hydrolyze. |
|
e. |
none of the above. |
