An alpha particle is a helium nucleus without the electrons - 2 neutrons and 2 protons.

So, all you would have to do is 2 x 55, which equals 110.

The ka values for several weak acids are given below. which acid (and its conjugate base) would be the best buffer at ph = 8.0?
Pie
One of the best buffer choice for pH = 8.0 is Tris with Ka value of  6.3 x 10^-9.

To support this answer, we first calculate for the pKa value as the negative logarithm of the Ka value: 
     pKa = -log Ka

For Tris, which is an abbreviation for 2-Amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3 -diol and has a Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9, the pKa is
     pKa = -log Ka
            = -log (6.3x10^-9)
            = 8.2

We know that buffers work best when pH is equal to pKa:
     pKa = 8.2 = pH 

Therefore Tris would be a best buffer at pH = 8.0.
