Some of commercially available buffers are listed below. Which of the following would be the best choice to prepare a pH 6.5 buffer solution?
Group of answer choices
CAPS, pKa = 10.4
BICINE, pKa = 8.3
ACES, pKa = 6.8
CHES, pKa = 9.3
HEPES, pKa = 7.6
For best buffer pH of the buffer should be closest possible to pKa of the acid.
Here pH of buffer is 6.5
So, for best buffer, pKa of the acid should be closest to 6.5
This is true fort ACES
Answer: ACES

Which of the following compounds would make the best buffer at pH 7.5? Acetic acid, pKa= 4.76 N-tris(hydroxymethyl) methylglycine (Tricine), pKa = 8.15 N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N’-ethansulfonic acid, pKa2= 7.6 Glycine, pKa2= 9.9 Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris), pKa = 8.3 I believe 3 is the correct answer and therefore I am trying to answer the below question with this information. Using the answer that you selected from question 1 above: a. Explain how you would make the buffer starting with 1M HA and 1M A-...
Lab 5 Buffers 1. Dissolved ions in salt solutions can act as acids or bases and react with water to produce hydronium ions or hydroxide ions that contribute to the pH of the salt solution. Since strong acids and strong bases completely ionize in solution, the reverse reaction essentially does not occur, meaning that the resulting conjugate base of a strong acid or conjugate acid of a strong base do NOT act as acids or bases. Ions that are conjugate...
For each of the weak acids listed below, consider how you would make a buffer solution where the weak acid has a concentration of 0.5 M at equilibrium. Determine what molarity for each potassium conjugate base salt would need to be added to make 500 mL of an effective buffer with a pH of 5.32. Which acid would make the best buffer at this pH? Which conjugate base salt would be the most economical (cheapest) out of the three choices? ...

All of the above are correct. 2. Which of the following is not a trace element in the human body? a. iodine b. zinc c. iron d. calcium e. fluorine 3. A...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
