Cacodylic acid (dimethylarsinic acid, HAsO2(CH3)2) is a common buffer used in biology to prepare and fix biological samples. The pKa of cacodylic acid is 6.3. Please show where you are getting your numbers from because I looked at other similar questions but I'm not too sure how they got some of the numbers. Thanks!

Part A: What is the pH of a buffer solution prepared by mixing 20.0 mL of 0.0400 molL−1NaOH with 20.0 mL of 0.140 molL−1 cacodylic acid? Ph = ?

Part B: What is the pH of the buffer solution in part A after 0.0002 moles of H3O+ was added to the mixture? Express your answer using one decimal place. pH = ?

A common buffer used in biochemistry is a pH 7.4 phosphate buffer. Such a buffer costs $53.00 for 100.00 mL from a common chemical supply house. Therefore, it is useful to know how to prepare such a buffer yourself! Imagine that you have available 0.1 M KH2PO4 and solid K2HPO4. Describe in detail how you would prepare 100.00 mL of a pH 7.4 phosphate buffer using these two reagents. **Hint: You need to identify what is your acid and what...

Chem Lab/Biology Question You need to prepare 350ml of an extraction buffer with the following composition: 125 mM NaCl (MW=58.44), 100mM Tris base (MW=121.1), and 3% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate. You have access to water, powdered Tris base, 6 M NaCl solution, and 40% (w/v) solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. How much of each component is needed (you may assume that solids contribute negligible volume to a solution)?
