Question 8.E.J: (a) Find the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.00 g ...
(a) Find the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.00 g of glycine amide hydrochloride (Table 8-2) plus 1.00 g of glycine amide in 0.100 L.
(b) How many grams of glycine amide should be added to 1.00 g of glycine amide hydrochloride to give 100 mL of solution with pH 8.00?
(c) What would be the pH if the solution in part (a) were mixed with 5.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl?
(d) What would be the pH if the solution in part (c) were mixed with 10.00 mL of 0.100 M NaOH?
(e) What would be the pH if the solution in part (a) were mixed with 90.46 mL of 0.100 M NaOH? (This is exactly the quantity of NaOH required to neutralize the glycine amide hydrochloride.)

a. The protonated form of each molecule is shown. Acidic hydrogen atoms are shown in bold type. pK_{a} is for 25°C.
b. Many buffers in this table are widely used in biomedical research because of their weak metal binding and physiologic inertness (C. L. Bering, J. Chem. Ed. 1987, 64, 803). In one study, where MES and MOPS had no discernible affinity for Cu^{2+}, a minor impurity in HEPES and HEPPS had a strong affinity for Cu^{2+} and MOPSO bound Cu^{2+} stoichiometrically (H. E. Marsh, Y.-P. Chin, L. Sigg, R. Hari, and H. Xu, Anal. Chem. 2003, 75, 671). ADA, BICINE, ACES, and TES have some metal-binding ability (R. Nakon and C. R. Krishnamoorthy, Science 1983, 221, 749). Lutidine buffers for the pH range 3 to 8 with limited metal-binding power have been described by U. Bips, H. Elias, M. Hauröder, G. Kleinhans, S. Pfeifer, and K. J. Wannowius, Inorg.
Chem. 1983, 22, 3862.
c. Some data from R. N. Goldberg, N. Kishore, and R. M. Lennen, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 2002, 31, 231. This paper gives the temperature dependence of pK_{a}.
d. Temperature and ionic strength dependence of pK_{a} for buffers: HEPES—D. Feng, W. F. Koch, and Y. C. Wu, Anal. Chem. 1989, 61, 1400; MOPSO—Y. C. Wu, P. A. Berezansky, D. Feng, and W. F. Koch, Anal. Chem. 1993, 65, 1084; ACES and CHES—R. N. Roy, J. Bice, J. Greer, J. A. Carlsten, J. Smithson, W. S. Good, C. P. Moore, L. N. Roy, and K. M. Kuhler, J. Chem. Eng.
Data 1997, 42, 41; TEMN, TEEN, DEPP, DESPEN, PIPES, PIPPS, PIPBS, MES, MOPS, and MOBS—A. Kandegedara and D. B. Rorabacher, Anal. Chem. 1999, 71, 3140. This last set of buffers was specifically developed for low metal-binding ability (Q. Yu, A. Kandegedara, Y. Xu, and D. B. Rorabacher, Anal. Biochem. 1997, 253, 50).
e. See marginal note on page 166 for the distinction between pK_{a} at μ = 0 and at μ = 0.1 M.
