You must make a MOPS-KOH buffer (500 ml at 60mM) at a pH value of
7.5. Assume that the pKa is 7.28. MW of MOPS is 209.3g/mol and 2M
is available
Show the weak acid base reaction. The sulfonamides
acid quickly loses its proton.
Calculate the grams of MOPS acid salt form needed.
Calculate the ml of 2M KOHLER needed
moles of buffer : ( 500 / 1000 ) x 60 x 10^-3 = 0.03
acid + salt = 0.03 ---------------> 1
pH of buffer = 7.5
pKa of aicd = 7.28
pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]
7.5 = 7.28 + log [salt / acid]
0.22 = log [salt / acid]
[salt / acid] = 1.66
salt = 1.66 acid -----------------> 2
acid + 1.66 acid = 0.03
2.66 acid = 0.03
acid = 0.0181
moles of acid = 0.0181
moles of acid salt = 0.0119
moles = mass / molar mass
0.0119 = mass / 209.3
mass = 2.491 g
MOPS acid salt = 2.491 g
volume of salt = volume of KOH
moles = 0.0119
molarity = 2 M
molarity = moles / vloume
2 = 0.0119 / volume
volume = 0.00595 L
volume of KOH = 5.95 ml
