Describe 3 different ways of making a buffer solution by answering the following question in 3 different ways: How could you make 350 mL of 0.200 M HEPES buffer with a pH of 7.1, if you are given HEPES acid (solid), HEPES base (sodium salt, solid) 6.0 M NaOH, and 6.0 M HCl?
Formulae:
Kn = Kw / Kb = 1 10 -14 / 1.75 10 -15
(OH) = 0.1 7.55 10-5
= 7.55 106
SOLID = 350 0.200
= 6.8799
= 7.1 6.0 / 58
= log 7.55
Base:
Ph = 5.12
POH = 14 - Ph
= 14 - 5.12
pOH = 8.88
- log ( OH ) - = 8.88
(OH)- = 1.3 10 -9
