In the study of biochemical processes, a common buffering agent is the weak base trishydroxymethylaminomethane, (HOCH2)3CNH2, often abbreviated as Tris. At 25 ?C, Tris has a pKbof 5.91. The hydrochloride of Tris is (HOCH2)3CNH3Cl, which can be abbreviated as TrisHCl. Question 1.) What volume of 10.0 M NaOH is needed to prepare a buffer with a pH of 7.79 using 31.52 g of TrisHCl? ANSWER IS 6.67 Question 2.) The buffer from Part A is diluted to 1.00 L. To half of it (500. mL), you add 0.0100mol of hydrogen ions without changing the volume. What is the pH of the final solution? Answer IS 7.58 Question 3.) What additional volume of 10.0 M HCl would be needed to exhaust the remaining capacity of the buffer after the reaction described in Part B?
