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.
Protons: charge +1, have a mass of 1 and are found in the nucleus
Neutrons: charge 0, have a mass of 1 and are found in the nucleus
Electrons: charge -1, have a mass of 1/840 and are found on the outside of the nucleus
hope that helps
Answer:
A chemical change is a change in the chemical makeup of a substance and results in a new substance. Ice and water both have the same chemical makeup - ice is just a different state and has the same atoms but in an expanded form.
