TRIS isba buffer used commonly with biological samples. what is the pH of a TRIS buffer when 0.23M acid is mixed in equal amounts with 0.67 M of TRIS base?
For making of TRIS isba buffer,
TRIS BUFFER MATERIALS
For calculation of pH of buffer, acid is HCl and base is TRIS powder whose diagram is given below
The formula for finding pH of the buffer is :
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]
for finding pKa, we have to know Ka of HCl = 1.3 * 106
So, pKa = -log(1.3 * 106)= +6.1139
so, pH = +6.113 + log(0.67/0.23)
=-6.113 + log(2.913) =-6.113 + 0.46 =-5.653
Here we taken HCl as base.
