(a)
Interpretation:
The amount of reagents for the preparation of 1L of the buffer using TRIS is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A buffer solution refers to an aqueous solution which consists of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base as well. The change in its pH is very little when a very small amount of strong base or a strong acid is added to it.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the capacity of the resulting buffer under given conditions is sufficient or not and the resulting pH of the solution is to be determined.

(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the buffer is ruined or not under given conditions should be determined and if it is ruined then the regeneration process should be explained.

- Many natural processes can be studied in the laboratory but only in an environment of controlled pH. Which of these combinations is the best to buffer the pH at approximately 7? Explain your choice. H3PO4/NaH2PO4 NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 Na2HPO4/Na3PO4arrow_forwardPhenol, C6H5OH, is a weak organic acid. Suppose 0.515 g of the compound is dissolved in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. The resulting solution is titrated with 0.123 M NaOH. C6H5OH(aq) + OH(aq) C6H5O(aq) + H2O() (a) What is the pH of the original solution of phenol? (b) What are the concentrations of all of the following ions at the equivalence point: Na+, H3O+, OH, and C6H5O? (c) What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?arrow_forwardThe 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. (a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in 1 M HCl and in 1 M KOH. (b) Write the Lewis structure of glycine when this amino acid is dissolved in water. (Hint: Consider the relative base strengths of the -NH2 and -CO2- groups.)arrow_forward
