Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and Tr

isH (an acid). The MW of Tris base is 121.14 g/mol; the MW of TrisH is 157.6 g/mol (the extra weight is due to the Cl- counterion that is present in the acid). The Ka of the acid is 8.32 X 10-9. Assume that you have TrisH in solid form (a powder), unlimited 1M HCl, 1 M NaOH and distilled water. How would you prepare 1 L of a 0.02 M Tris Buffer, pH?

Solution :

For the reaction :

$\text{TrisH}^+ + H_2O \rightarrow \text{Trish}^- + H_3O^+$

we have

$Ka = \frac{[\text{Tris}^- \times H_3O]}{\text{Tris}^+}$

   $=\frac{x^2}{0.02 -x}$

  $=8.32 \times 10^{-9}$

Clearing $x$, we have $x = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles of acid}$

So to reach $\text{pH} = 7.8 (\text{pOH}= 14-7.8=6.2)$, one must have the $\text{OH}^-$ concentration of the :

$\text{[OH}^-]=10^{-pOH} = 6.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ moles of base}$

So we can add enough of 1 M NaOH in order to neutralize the acid that is calculated above and also adding the calculated base.

$\text {n NaOH}=1.29 \times 10^{-5}+6.31 \times 10^{-7}$

            $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles}$

Volume NaOH $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \text{ mL}}{1 \text{ mol}} = 0.0135 \text{ mL}$

Tris mass $H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \text{ g/mol}=3.152 \text{ g}$

Now to prepare the said solution we must mix:

$3.152 \text{ g Tris H} + 0.0135 \text{ mL NaOH} \ 1 M$ gauge to 1000 mL with water.

The weight of the body in the air is .... the weight of the submerged body
stira [4]

Answer:

the correct answer is option 'b': More than

Explanation:

The 2 situations are represented in the attached figures below

When an object is placed in air it is acted upon by force of gravity of earth which is measured as weight of the object.

While as when any object is submerged partially or completely in any fluid the fluid exerts a force in upward direction and this force is known as force of buoyancy and it's magnitude is given by Archimedes law as equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces, hence the effective force in the downward direction direction thus the apparent weight of the object in water decreases.

How is the periodic table arranged
Mashcka [7]
The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, the atom:
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

A. absorbs light

Explanation:

For an electron to move from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy needs to be added to the atom.

In most cases this required energy will be light: The electron of the atom will absorb the energy of the light and move to a higher energy level.

When said electron comes back to the lower energy level, the atom will conversely give off light.
