In a solution of 250 mM sodium phosphate buffer (so the concentration represents all forms of phosphate no matter the ionization state) at pH 5.2 (the pH of some synaptic vessicles), what is the ratio of H2PO4- to HPO4-2 ? The pKa's of phosporic acid are 2.15, 6.86 and 12.32. Set up the equation to solve for the answer (you aren't expected to give a numerical answer). Is this an appropriate buffer at this pH? Why or why not?
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the answer.

5. Phosphate serves as the intracellular buffer. Its ionization is shown below. H3PO4 + H,PO HPO 2 + H + HPO.-- +PO3 + H PK, = 2.14 pK, = 6.86 PK, = 12.4 What ionic forms would be present in the cell at pH 7? A. All forms would be present. B. HPO and PO43- C. H PO, and HPO 2- D. HPO4 E. H2PO4
a 50 mM buffer of monosodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium monohydrogen phosphate at pH 7. The relevant pKa is 6.8. You'll have to figure out the concentrations of all the ionic species before computing the ionic strength. -Solve the problem using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the concentrations, use the two equations with two unknowns to solve. HPO4 = 0.031M, and H2PO4=0.019M. Then do the ionic strength. It's supposed to be u=0.096M, but I don't understand how this works. I'm...
A sodium phosphate buffer has a concentration of 25 mM. If you take 25 mL of the buffer and add 75 mL of water, what is the final concentration after the dilution? Show work.
Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research. The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH. The osmolality and ion concentrations of the solution usually match those of the human body. A) You need to prepare a stock solution at pH 7.00 with KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 (pKa =7.21). What would be the respective concentration of these substances if you wish to obtain the final phosphate concentration [HPO4 −2 ] + [H2PO4 − ] = 0.3...
Describe how you would make a solution of 50mM sodium chloride, 200 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.5.
Sample Buffering Capacity Problem Suppose you have 600 ml of a sodium phosphate buffer where Concentration = .25M Ratio of Acid : Base = 2:3 PK, of Sodium dihydrogen phosphate = 7.21 Next we add 150 ml of .2M HCL How much does the pH change after this addition?
4. What molar ratio of HPO4 2-to H2PO4-in solution would produce a pH of 7.0? Phosphoric acid (H3PO4), a triprotic acid, has 3 pKa values: 2.14, 6.86, and 12.4. Hint: Only one of the pKa values is relevant here. 5. For a weak acid with a pKaof 6.0, calculate the ratio of conjugate base to acid at a pH of 5.0. 6. Which of these compounds would be the best buffer at pH 5.0: formic acid (pKa 3.8), acetic acid...
What concentrations of acetic acid (pKa 4.76) and acetate would be required to prepare a 0.10 M buffer solution at pH 4.5? Note that the concentration and/or pH value may differ from that in the first question. STRATEGY 1. Rearrange the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to solve for the ratio of base (acetate) to acid (acetic 2. Use the mole fraction of acetate to calculate the concentration of acetate. 3. Calculate the concentration of acetic acid Step 1: Rearrange the Henderson Hasselbalch...
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a buffer solution to the pKa of its conjugate acid and the ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate base and acid. The equation is important in laboratory work that makes use of buffered solutions, in industrial processes where pH needs to be controlled, and in medicine, where understanding the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is critical for the control of blood pH. Part A As a technician in a large pharmaceutical research firm, you need...
