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.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Honey is an homogeneous mixture

Salsa is an heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Honey is a sweet uniformly colored liquid that can be of a dark variety or of clear golden color. Honey is made in nature by bees from flower nectar and is used as a food additive or sweetener

Honey is a homogeneous mixture because the concentration of the components of honey are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. Every portion has the same concentration of components

Salsa is a sauce made by mixing chopped tomatoes, onions, chilies, lime juice and seasoning and therefore consists of both solid and liquid components mixed in varying proportion such that part will have continuous  that comes in between different types of solid and no two parts have exactly the same composition

Therefore, salsa is an heterogenous liquid.

Suggest one reason why cans are not made entirely from tin
Butoxors [25]

Cans aren't entirely made of tin because of rusting. When scratched(which happens quite frequently to cans) the tin is in more danger of rusting. This is why the cans are coated in a layer of tin rather than the whole can is made of it.
