Define a buffer solution. What makes up a buffer solution? How do buffers absorb added H+ or OH with little pH change? Is it necessary that the concentrations of the weak acid and the weak base in a buffered solution be equal? Explain. What is the pH of a buffer when the weak acid and conjugate base concentrations are equal? A buffer generally contains a weak acid and its weak conjugate base, or a weak base and its weak conjugate acid, in water. You can solve for the pH by setting up the equilibrium problem using the K.a reaction of the weak acid or the Kb reaction of the conjugate base. Both reactions give the same answer for the pH of the solution. Explain. A third method that can be used to solve for the pH of a buffet solution is the HendersonHasselbalch equation. What is the HendersonHasselbalch equation? What assumptions are made when using this equation?
The simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, -NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, -CO2H. An amino acid can function as either an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid. CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3. (a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in 1 M HCl and in 1 M KOH. (b) Write the Lewis structure of glycine when this amino acid is dissolved in water. (Hint: Consider the relative base strengths of the -NH2 and -CO2- groups.)
