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?

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?
