You work in a medical research lab with a biochemist who asks you to make a 1.00 L phosphate buffer stock solution with pH = 7.4. The total phosphorus concentration is to be 0.250 M. In the storeroom, there are the following reagents: (1) a 3.00 M phosphoric acid stock solution, (2) solid sodium dihydrogen phosphate, (3) solid sodium monohydrogen phosphate, (4) solid, sodium phosphate, (5) a 3.00 M HCl(aq) stock solution, (6) a 3.00 M NaOH(aq) stock solution, and (7) deionized water.
(i) (2 pts) To make an optimum buffer, it is important that the pKa of the acid part is close to the target pH of the buffer. Which phosphate species has a pKa value closest to pH = 7.4?
(ii) (4 pts) Choose this phosphate species (in i) as the only phosphorus component. What amounts of this substance and any other reagents (grams of solid(s); mL of any solution(s) and water) would you need to make the buffer with pH = 7.4?
(iii)(4 pts) Choose this phosphate species (in i) and either its conjugate acid or base as the only two phosphorus components. What amounts of this substance, its conjugate acid or base, and water (grams of solid(s); mL of any solution(s) and water) would you need to make the buffer with pH = 7.4?

A) how many grams of Zinc (II) Nitrate would be required to produce 350 ml of a .50 M solution?
Water is Unusual because...(Choose All true)
- soilid phase is less compact than the liquid phase.
-Most molecules as small as water are gases at room temperature
-most molecules as small as water have higher boiling points than water does
-its very strong hydrogen bonding and polarity (among other things) give it unusual properties

In order to separate the two dyes bound the column a solution is needed with a substance that has higher affinity for the column than the dyes. Isopropyl alcohol is such a substance. If a solution of water with 70% isopropyl alcohol is applied all the purple dye elutes (comes off) the column and the dyes do not separate. In fact this is how students clean the column before reuse of the column. Read your protocol and write down the other two concentrations of isopropyl alcohol here. Why are we using two different concentrations of isopropyl alcohol?
