How many milliliters of 0.500 M NaOH should be added to 10.0 g of tris hydrochloride (FM 121.135) to give a pH of 7.60 in a final volume of 250 mL? pk, for the tris = 8.072

41.64mL of NaOH 0.500M must be added to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

It is possible to find pH of a buffer by using H-H equation, thus:

pH = pka + log [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [HA] is concentration of the weak acid TRIS-HCl and [A⁻] is concentration of its conjugate acid.

Replacing in H-H equation:

7.60 = 8.072 + log [A⁻] / [HA]

0.3373 =  [A⁻] / [HA] (1)

10.0g of TRIS-HCl (Molar mass: 121.135g/mol) are:

10.0g ₓ (1mol / 121.135g) = 0.08255 moles of acid. That means moles of both the acid and conjugate base are:

[A⁻] + [HA] = 0.08255 (2)

Replacing (1) in (2):

0.3373 =  0.08255 - [HA] / [HA]

0.3373[HA] =  0.08255 - [HA]

1.3373[HA] = 0.08255

[HA] = 0.06173 moles

Thus:

[A⁻]  = 0.08255 - 0.06173 = 0.02082 moles [A⁻]

The moles of A⁻ comes from the reaction of the weak acid with NaOH, that is:

HA + NaOH → A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

Thus, you need to add 0.02082 moles of NaOH to produce 0.02082 moles of A⁻. As NaOH solution is 0.500M:

0.02082 moles NaOH ₓ (1L / 0.500mol) = 0.04164L of NaOH 0.500M =

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
