One of the most common buffers used in protein chemistry is a weak base called TRIS (the nitrogen atom of the amino group is the basic portion of the molecule): Но. -NH2 (HOCH2);CNH2 = TRIS HO A biochemist prepares a buffer solution by adding enough TRIS and 12 M HCI to give 1.0 L of a buffer solution that has concentrations [TRIS] = 0.34 M and [TRISH*] = 0.71 M. (pKµ of TRIS is 5.91.) (a) Calculate the pH of the buffer solution.
