Tris-HCI in solution will produce a pH of approximately 4.7 and Tris-Base in solution will produce a pH of approximately 10.4. Which one has the better buffering capacity?
Buffer capacity quantifies the ability of a solution to resist changes in pH by either absorbing or desorbing H+ and OH- ions. When an acid or base is added to a buffer system, the effect on pH change can be large or small, depending on both the initial pH and the capacity of the buffer to resist change in pH.
Tris base (molecular weight: 121.14 g/mol) is base, and Tris-HCl (Tris base which is already combined with HCl in a 1:1 molar ratio, so the molecular weight is 157.6 g/mol).
pKa for TRIS : 8.1
If the pH of solution is greater than the pKa, the group is in the conjugate base form (deprotonated). If the pH of solution is less than the pKa, the group is in the conjugate acid form (protonated).
Buffer Solution with pH near to pKa have better buffering capacity , than solution with greater difference in pH and pKa . Thus, Tris-Base in solution which will produce a pH of approximately 10.4 ( closer to pKa - 8.1) better buffering capacity than Tris-HCI in solution which will produce a pH of approximately 4.7.

8. Tris buffers tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) are extensively used in biochemistry. The pK, for Tris is 8.1. Mixing Tris base (A', f.w. 121.1) with Tris-HCI (HA, f.w. 157.56) provides buffering in the pH range of 7 to 9. How many grams of the acid form and base form need to be dissloved in a total volume of 0.5 L to obtain a 0.25 M buffer solution at pH 8.8?

4.48 The weak base colloquially known as Tris, and more precisely as tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, has pK, = 8.3 at 20°C and is commonly used to produce a buffer for biochemical applications. (a) At what pH would you expect Tris to act as a buffer in a solution that has equal molar concentrations of Tris and its conjugate acid? (b) What is the pH after the addition of 3.3 mmol NaOH to 100 cm3 of a buffer solution with equal molar concentrations...

please explain. thanks 6. A buffer composed of TRIS (FW-121.135 g/mol) and TRIS-HCI (FW-157.596 g/mol, pKa 8.072) contains the following forms in solution: он OH NH," NH +H но Но но но (a) Calculate the pH of a buffer prepared by mixing 13.10 g of TRIS and 9.5 g of TRIS-HCI in 1L of solution. (b) Calculate the pH of the solution in Part (a) after 5 mL of 0.5M NaOH is added
Tris buffers are commonly used in biochemistry labs because they buffer within the physiological range of 7.1 to 9.1 due to a pKa of 8.1. To demonstrate the buffering capacity of Tris buffer, your biochemistry lab teaching assistant has given you one liter of a 0.1 M Tris buffer at pH 7.4. Add 2 mL of 1M HCl to this buffer and calculate what the new pH will be.
To a 25mL cylinder add 1.25mL of a 2M stock solution of Trizma base. Calculate the concentration of the Tris-base in your cylinder if the final volume is filled with 25ml water. ( 1 mark)Calculate the ratio of Tris- base to Tris-acid required, using the Henderson- Hasselbach equation. (2 marks) You are provided with a 1M Tris- HCL solution. Using a Tris buffer concentration of 100mM and ratios from step 2 above, calculate the concentration of Tris HCl required and...
One of the most common buffers used in protein chemistry is a weak base called TRIS (the nitrogen atom of the amino group is the basic portion of the molecule). Write balanced equations for the following. Include phases in parentheses. Use "TRIS" to represent (HOCH2)3CNH2. Write cations (if any) first, followed by molecules (if any), and finally anions (if any) last. For ions, put the charge in parentheses followed by phase in parentheses. If a charge is greater than one,...
