Tris, (HOCH2)3CNH2 (pKb = 5.91), a very common buffer for studying biochemical processes, is prepared by a biological chemist using 10.0M NaOH to a pH of 7.79 using 31.52 g of (HOCH2)3CNH3Cl, or TrisH+, (MW=157.597g/mol, pKa 8.075).

(a) Calculate the ratio of [Tris]/[TrisH+] at a pH of 7.79.

(b) Calculate the initial moles of (HOCH2)3CNH3Cl (MW=157.597g/mol) that were added.

(c) Write the chemical reaction between the TrisH+ and the added NaOH.

(d) Calculate the moles of hydroxide used to produce the ratio calculated in part (a).

(e) What volume of 10.0 M NaOH is needed to prepare the buffer?

(f) Now you dilute the solution from above to 1.0 L and take half of the buffer (500.0 mL) and add 0.0100 moles solid HCl. What is the new pH?

A 0.130-kg cube of ice (frozen water) is floating in glycerine. The gylcerine is in a tall cylinder that has inside radius 3.20 cm . The level of the glycerine is well below the top of the cylinder.

f the ice completely melts, by what distance does the height of liquid in the cylinder change?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Does the level of liquid rise or fall? That is, is the surface of the water above or below the original level of the gylcerine before the ice melted?

Consider the Hamiltonian H, namely,

H=A(Jz,1 +Jz,2)+BJ1 ·J2

for a system of two particles in which the first particle has a spin of 3/2 (j1), and the other has a spin of 1/2 (j2).

a) Compute the Hamiltonian matrix in the |j1j2;m1m2⟩ basis. (Hint: Be sure to rewrite ˆˆˆˆ
the J1 · J2 operator in terms of J±,i and Jz,i.) Is your matrix diagonal?

b) Determine the eigenvalues of the matrix you found in a).

c) Now compute the Hamiltonian matrix in the |j1j2;JM⟩ basis, where J and M are the ˆ2 ˆ ˆˆˆ
eigenvalues associated with the J and Jz operators, respectively. (Recall J ≡ J1 +J2.) Is your matrix diagonal? What energy eigenvalues do you find? Do your energies agree with those found in the other basis? Should they?

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 69.2 kg) and Rebecca (mass 50.1 kg) are practicing. Daniel stops to tie his shoelace and, while at rest, is struck by Rebecca, who is moving at12.7 m/s before she collides with him. After the collision, Rebecca has a velocity of magnitude 6.8 m/s at an angle of 50.1° from her initial direction. Both skaters move on the frictionless, horizontal surface of the rink.

(a) What are the magnitude and direction of Daniel's velocity after the collision?
m/s

(b) What is the change in total kinetic energy of the two skaters as a result of the collision?
