Blood substitute. as noted in this chapter, blood contains a total concentration of phosphate of approximately 1 mm and typically has a ph of 7.4. you wish to make 100 liters of phosphate buffer with a ph of 7.4 from nah 2 po 4 (molecular weight, 119. 98 g mol 1) and na 2 hpo 4 (molecular weight, 141. 96 g mol 1). how much of each (in grams) do you need? berg, jeremy m.. biochemistry (p. 25). w. h. freeman. kindle edition.

Explanation:

The equilibrium relevant for this problem is:

H₂PO₄⁻ ↔ HPO₄⁻² + H⁺

The Henderson–Hasselbalch (H-H) equation is needed to solve this problem:

pH= pka +

In this case, [A⁻] = [HPO₄⁻²], [HA] = [H₂PO₄⁻], pH = 7.4; from literature we know that pka=7.21.

We use the H-H equation to describe [HPO₄⁻²] in terms of  [H₂PO₄⁻]:

The problem tells us that the concentration of phosphate is 1 mM, which means:

[HPO₄⁻²] + [H₂PO₄⁻] = 1 mM = 0.001 M

In this equation we can replace [HPO₄⁻²] with the term expressed in the H-H eq:

1.549 * [H₂PO₄⁻] + [H₂PO₄⁻] = 0.001 M

2.549 * [H₂PO₄⁻] = 0.001 M

[H₂PO₄⁻] = 3.923 * 10⁻⁴ M

With the value of [H₂PO₄⁻] we can calculate [HPO₄⁻²]:

[HPO₄⁻²] + 3.923 * 10⁻⁴ M = 0.001 M

[HPO₄⁻²] = 6.077 * 10⁻⁴ M

With the concentrations, the molecular weight, and the volume, we calculate the mass of each reagent:

chemical properties are the characteristic of matter which can only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a sample like flammability reactivity and toxicity.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.
