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>

A mixture of 0.682 mol of H2 and 0.440 mol of Br2 is combined in a reaction vessel with a volume of 2.00 L. At equilibrium at 70
ahrayia [7]

Answer: 0.294 mol of Br_2 present in the reaction vessel.

Explanation:

Initial moles of  H_2 = 0.682 mole

Initial moles of  Br_2 = 0.440 mole

Volume of container = 2.00 L

Initial concentration of H_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.682moles}{2.00L}=0.341M

Initial concentration of Br_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.440moles}{2.00L}=0.220M

equilibrium concentration of H_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.536mole}{2.00L}=0.268M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            H_2(g)+Br_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HBr(g)

Initial conc.              0.341 M     0.220 M         0  M

At eqm. conc.    (0.341-x) M      (0.220-x) M     (2x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[HBr]^2}{[Br_2]\times [H_2]}

we are given : (0.341-x) = 0.268 M

x= 0.073 M

Thus equilibrium concentration of Br_2 = (0.220-x) M = (0.220-0.073) M = 0.147 M

[Br_2]=\frac{moles}{volume}\\0.147=\frac{xmole}{2.00L}\\\\x=0.294 mole

Thus there are 0.294  mol of Br_2 present in the reaction vessel.
