- A good buffer generally contains relatively equal concentrations of weak acid and conjugate base. If you wanted to buffer a solution at pH = 4.00 or pH = 10.00, how would you decide which weak acidconjugate base or weak baseconjugate acid pair to use? The second characteristic of a good buffer is good buffering capacity. What is the capacity of a buffer? How do the following buffers differ in capacity? How do they differ in pH? 0.01 M acetic acid/0.01 M sodium acetate 0.1 M acetic acid/0.1 M sodium acetate 1.0 M acetic acid/1.0 M sodium acetatearrow_forward8-94 Suppose you wish to make a buffer whose pH is 8.21. You have available 1 L of 0.100 M NaH2PO4 and solid Na2HPO4. How many grams of the solid Na2HPO4 must be added to the stock solution to accomplish this task? (Assume that the volume remains 1 L.)arrow_forwardThe simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, -NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, -CO2H. An amino acid can function as either an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid. CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3. (a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in 1 M HCl and in 1 M KOH. (b) Write the Lewis structure of glycine when this amino acid is dissolved in water. (Hint: Consider the relative base strengths of the -NH2 and -CO2- groups.)arrow_forward
- This question is concerned with acid/base. The ionic product of water may be taken as 10-14 mol2dm-6. Aqueous solutions of a particular monobasic acid HX have the following pH values (see figure below). Concentration in moldm-3 PH Hydrogen ion concentration in moldm-3 Solution A 0.1 2.80 1.585 x 10-3 Solution B 0.001 3.85 For each solution, calculate the dissociation constant of the acid. Comment on the constancy of your values of Ka (the dissociation constant). Give the expression for the dissociation of the acidarrow_forwardMetabolic acidosis. As we will see later in the course, pathological conditions arise where the blood pH falls because of excess acid production, a condition called metabolic acidosis. Excess protons in the blood decrease the amount of HCO3− and thus reduce the buffering capacity of blood. A rapid drop in pH could lead to death. Normal values for blood are: pH = 7.4, [HCO3−] = 24.0 mM, [CO2] = 1.20 mM.✓ 6 (a) If a patient has a blood pH = 7.03 and [CO2] = 1.2 mM, what is the [HCO3−] in the patient’s blood? The pKa of HCO3−= 6.1. (b) Suggest a possible treatment for metabolic acidosis. (c) Why might the suggestion for part (b) be of benefit to middle-distance runners?arrow_forwardLactobacillus bulgaricus is the main bacterium used in the production of yogurt and requires an acidic environment to grow effectively. To prepare an agar solution of this bacterium, a 100.0 mL 0.100 M buffer solution pH 5.00 must be prepared. The only available reagents in the laboratory are solid benzoic acid (HC6H5COO, MM = 122.12), solid sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, MM = 84.01), 1.00 M HCl, and 1.00 M NaOH. Acid dissociation constants: Benzoic acid, HC6H5COO: pKa,1 = 4.19 Carbonic acid, H2CO3: pKa,1 = 6.37, pKa,2 = 10.32 Identify the most appropriate conjugate acid-base pair for the target buffer. Determine the amounts of the acidic and basic species in the buffer (in millimoles).arrow_forward
