100 mL of a 100 mM Tris at pH 7.8 is diluted to 1L. What is the resulting pH?
initial volume = 100 ml
initial concentration of Tris = n/v = 100/100 = 1 M
dilution formula, M1V1 = M2V2
(1*0.1) = M2*1
M2 = final concentration of TRIS solution = 0.1 M
after dilution ,
pH of tris = 1/2(pka - logC)
pka of tris = 8.07
= 1/2(8.07-log0.1)
= 4.535
