Calculate the volume (in mL) of a 0.220 M KOH solution that should be added to 4.750 g of HEPES (MW=238.306 g/mol, pKa = 7.56) to give a pH of 7.60. Give answe in mL.
moles of HEPES = 4.750 / 238.06 = 0.01995
moles of KOH = 0.220 x V
HEPES + KOH ---------------> salt + H2O
0.01995 0.220V 0 0
0.01995-0.220V 0 0.220V
pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]
7.60 = 7.56 + log [0.220 V /0.01995-0.220V ]
[0.220 V /0.01995-0.220V ] = 1.096
V = 0.474 L
volume of KOH = 474 mL
