Tris {(hoch2)3cnh2} is one of the most common buffers used in biochemistry. a solution is prepared by adding enough tris and 12

m hcl(aq) to give 1.00 l of solution with [tris] = 0.30 m and [trish+] = 0.60 m. what is the ph of this buffered system if the pkb is 5.92?

<u>Given:</u>

Buffer system : Tris/TrisH+

[Tris] = 0.30 M

[TrisH+] = 0.60 M

pKb = 5.92

<u>To determine:</u>

pH of the buffer

<u>Explanation:</u>

The pH of a buffer can be obtain using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log[Base]/[Acid]

In this case the conjugate base = [Tris]

Acid = [TrisH+]

Now, pKa = 14-pKa = 14-5.92 = 8.08

pH = 8.08 + log[0.30]/[0.60] = 7.778

Ans: pH of the buffer = 7.78

Given that,

The concentration of TRIS = 0.30 M

The concentration of TRIS+ = 0.60 M

Kb = 1.2 x 10^-6

pKb = -log Kb = - log (1.2 x 10^-6) = 5.920

Now, by using the Hendersonn equation,

pH = pKa + log TRIS+/TRIS = 5.920 + log (0.60/0.30) = 6.221

<span>pOH=14-pH=14-6.221 = 7.779</span>

What are three units you can measure moler mass in
liraira [26]

By looking at a periodic table, we can conclude that the molar mass of lithium is 6.94g, the molar mass of zinc is 65.38g, and the molar mass of gold is 196.97g. Each of these quantities contains 6.02×1023 atoms of that particular element. The units for molar mass are grams per mole, or g/mol.

So The answers are Lithium, Gold, Zinc
