Study Notes
Citrate Buffer
-
Reagents Needed:
- Citric acid: 2.101g dissolved in 100ml distilled water.
- Sodium citrate solution (0.1M): 2.941g dissolved in 100ml distilled water.
-
Preparation Procedure:
- Mix 46.5ml of citric acid with 3.5ml of sodium citrate solution.
- Add distilled water to reach a total volume of 100ml.
- This creates a 0.1M citrate buffer.
-
pH Measurement:
- Standardize the solution using a pH meter to measure the pH.
- Initial pH was measured at 4.8.
- Adjust the pH to the desired 2.5 using IN HCl and 5N NaOH.
Carbonate-Bicarbonate Buffer
-
Reagents Needed:
- Sodium carbonate solution (0.2M): 2.12g of anhydrous sodium carbonate dissolved in 100ml distilled water.
