<span>pH = pKa + log ([R-]/[RH])
Where pH is the pH of the buffer, [R-] is the concentration of the basic species, and [RH] is the concentration of the acidic species.
At pH 2.4, the amino group on glycine (pKa = 9.6) will be, for accounts and purposes, 100% protonated. This means our buffer will be dealing with the two ionic forms of the carboxyl group (pKa = 2.4).
When pH = pKa, the two species are in equilibrium. This can be seen using the HH equation:
2.4 = 2.4 + log ([R-]/[RH])
0 = log ([R-]/[RH])
1 = ([R-]/[RH])
[RH] = [R-]
Now we add in another equation, our conservation of mass.
M = [RH] + [R-]
where M is the molarity of the buffer
But since [RH] = [R-]:
M = 2 [RH]
0.2 = 2 [RH]
And we wind up with:
[RH] = [R-] = 0.1 M
Now to figure out the moles of each needed, we multiply by the volume of the buffer.
0.1 M * 0.1 L = 0.01 mol
This shows that to make 100 ml of 0.2 M glycine buffer, we'll need 0.01 mol of each species.
0.01 mol of 0.5 M HCl:
0.5 mol HCl / 1 L = 0.01 mol / v
solve for v
v/1 = 0.01 / 0.5 ==> v = 0.02 L or 20 mL
weight of glycine:
MW: 75.07 g/mol
0.01 mol glycine * (75.07g glycine / 1 mol) = 0.75 g glycine
And there's your answer
--------
To make this buffer you would add 0.75g glycine to 20 mL of 0.5 M HCl and fill with water until a 100mL volume was achieved.</span>
No thanks but thanks for asking anyway!!!
i think its verbal
sorry if wrong
Starry Night Studios offers classes in painting, drawing, sculpting, and woodworking. It refurbished an old townhome but did not invest in a new furnace. Winter is coming. If the furnace breaks, What will happen to the Starry Night Studios?
Answer: if the furnace breaks for some reason then Starry Night Studios will more than likely lose business. The reason being that the facilities will probably be freezing do to the winter and the students will more than likely not want to keep going to classes and drop out altogether.
I hope it helps, Regards.
