How many millilitres of 1.00 M KOH should be added to 100 mL of solution containing 10.0 g of histidine hydrochloride

[His? HCI (HisH1) (CI2), FM 191.62 ] to get a pH of 9.30 ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required amount of Potassium hydroxide solution 78.9mL

Step by step solution

01

Define the diprotic system.

The derivation of fractional composition equations for a diprotic system follows the same pattern used for the monoprotic system.

A material that behaves like an acid and has at least two hydrogens is referred to as diprotic acid in general. An acid, according to Bronsted-theory, Lowry's is a chemical species capable of giving away hydrogen ions to other atoms it is reacting with.

02

Calculate the amount of solution required.

Given Formula mass of H2His+Cl-is191.62

The weight of H2His+Cl-10.00g

The required amount of 1.00M KOH solution

The required 0.05219mol of KOH + x amount

HHis+OH-His-

Initial mol:0.05219x-

Final mol:0.05219-x-x

pH=pK3+logHis2HHis2=9.30=9.28+logx0.05219xx=0.02670

molKOH=0.05219+0.02670=78.9mL1.00MKOH

Thus, the required amount of Potassium hydroxide solution 78.9mL
