  1. In the buffer portion of the lab, you compared how water and a buffer solution react to the addition of base (NaOH) and acid (HCl). Based on your observations, which seems to have greater “buffering capacity” (ability to maintain a consistent pH): the distilled water or the buffer?
  2. The buffer solution consisted of acetic acid and sodium acetate (of which, the acetate ion is the important species). Of this mixture, the weak acid is _____ _____ and its conjugate base is ___ ________.

  1. Which component of this buffer system (listed in question #2) reacted with the added sodium hydroxide? Acetic acid

Write an equation that represents this reaction.

FLUORIMETER LAB: A 0.1019 g portion of an aspirin tablet was dissolved in sufficient water to prepare 1.000 L of solution. A pipet was used to transfer 10.00 mL of the solution to a 100.00 mL volumetric flask. A 2.00 mL portion of 4 M NaOH (aq) was added to the flask, and the resulting solution was diluted to the mark with water. The fluorescence of the diluted sample solution was found, by the working curve method, to correspond to...

Assume you have successfully made a buffer solution, such that you have 0.250 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.2. You dissolve in this solution sufficient histidine (side chain pKa = 6.0), such that the final histidine concentration is 5 mM, all at 25°C. Therefore, the pH of the solution is controlled by the phosphate buffer. In this solution, what is the percent of histidine with a protonated side chain? What is the total charge on molecules in this fraction? Explain.
