Ph and Buffer Solution
Title: pH and buffer solutions
Aim
This experiment was carried out to determine the role of buffer solution and the factor which affect the buffer capacity. Besides, this experiment was carried out to investigate the solubility of protein casein over a range of pH concentration. This experiment also was carried out to determine the isoelectric point of the casein and the effect of the isoelectric point toward the casein solution.

Dilution
1:10 dilution
Volume of buffer needed = 1/10 × 20 = 2.0 mL
Volume of distilled water = 20-2.0 =18.0 mL
Concentration of buffer = 0.1/1000 × 2.0 = 2 ×10-4 M
1:50 dilution
Volume of buffer needed = 1/50 × 20 = 0.4 mL
Volume of distilled water = 20-0.4 =19.6 mL
Concentration of buffer = 0.1/1000 × 0.4 = 4 ×10-5 M
1:100 dilution
Volume of buffer needed = 1/100 × 20 = 0.2 mL
Volume of distilled water = 20- 0.2 =19.8 mL
Concentration of buffer = 0.1/1000 × 0.2 = 2 ×10-5 M

    In the third separation of this experiment, the hood in the lab was used. The curds were placed in a 100 mL beaker and extracted using 30 mL of ethyl acetate. The curds were crushed with a stirring rod. This extraction was then gravity filtered through a funnel fitted with the filter paper. A rubber policeman was used to scrape the beaker to get as much casein as possible. This casein was then put aside in the hood safely. Boiling chips were put into an Erlenmeyer flask along with the filtrate collected. This flask was then put inside of the large beaker that was put to heat in the first separation of this experiment…

    As the pH of the pepsin buffer increases from pH 2 to pH 9 so too does the percentage light transmission through the buffer solution after a 24 hour period. Although when the trypsin buffer has a pH between pH 2 and 8 the percentage light transmission through the buffer solution after a 24 hour period decreases, but from pH 8 to pH 9 the percentage light transmission through the buffer solution after a 24 hour period increases. At a low pH (pH 2) the amount of gelatine broken down by the pepsin is high. We can tell this as this is when there is a low mean percentage light transmission (16.86%) because a lot of colour of the jelly will leak in the solution causing the colour to be deeper. But at a higher pH (pH 9) the amount of gelatine broken down by the pepsin is low. We can tell this as this as there is a low mean percentage light transmission is high (34.14%) because a little colour of the jelly will leak in the solution causing the colour to be lighter. At a low pH (pH 2) the amount of gelatine broken down by the trypsin is low so this means there is a high mean percentage light transmission (41.75%) because a little colour of the jelly will leak in the solution causing the colour to be lighter. At a high pH (pH9) the amount of gelatine…

    For example, the pH in the stomach around 2.5 if the pH in the stomach become to basic serious problems will occur such as cells performing metabolic functions. Moreover, the water pH was not neutral as it usually should. This means that the water was not distilled. Distilled water has a pH of 7. The water used in this experiment was more acidic than it was basic. When gelatin was only added to water it solidify in three seconds. Bromelian reacts in pH level of 3.0 to 6.5 (Cichoke, 1999). Anything lower than 3.0 and anything higher than 6.5 the enzyme become denatured. Even though water had the pH of 6.5 the enzyme was not present therefore causing gelatin to solidify. Fresh pineapple juice had a pH of 3.5 which is in the normal range of Bromelian. With this enzyme present and nothing done to the enzyme it takes a longer time for the gelatin to solidify. The gelatin eventually solidifies even though Bromelian was present. This reaction occurs because Bromelian is in a cold environment which can affect the effect of the enzyme. If the tube was taken out of the cold environment Bromelian would continue breaking down the protein. The pH of HCL and fresh pineapple juice was 0. The normal stabilization range for Bromelian are 3.0-6.5 (Cichoke, 1999). The pH of HCL and fresh pineapple juice are…

    The aim of this period of experiment is calculating the percentage of succinylation of the sample. Ninhydrin reacts with –NH2 to give a purple colour. There are three samples in the experiment: sample A, Sample B and Sample C. The sample A contains 2 distilled water and ninhydrin reagent. There are egg white and ninhydrin reagent in sample B. Succinylated egg white and ninhydrin reagent were in sample C. Because distilled water cannot react with ninhydrin reagent, the sample A was as a blank in the experiment. We measured the absorbance of the egg solution at 570nm. In sample B, the native egg white was added. The data of sample B shows the result…

    In the experiment, we tested a sodium chloride solution. Along with the tested solution, control groups (water and sodium phosphate) were used to be help understand whether or not NaCl was a buffer. Water was the negative control group and sodium phosphate was the positive control group. If NaCl was a buffer than the pH would be stabled as the sodium phosphate buffer. If NaCl was not a buffer than the pH would fluctuate like the negative control, water. During the first trial and prior to the drops of 0.5 M of HCl acid, the pH of sodium chloride was 7.50. After the addition of 5 drops of 0.5 M of HCl, the pH decreased by 4.83 and ended at 2.67 on the pH scale. When comparing the results of the sodium chloride to the control groups, the total pH change of sodium phosphate was only…

    Lab was to analyze the properties that buffer posses when resisting changes in pH. This was done by “testing the ability of buffered and unbuffered solutions to resist changes in pH with the addition of strong acids and bases (Lab Manual 2012-2013).” To discover the buffer ability of a solution, 10 solutions were made with varying amounts of distilled water, NaCl, C2H3NaO2, and HC2H3O2. The beakers labeled with the numbers 1-5 were determining the buffer’s ability to neutralize the strong acid HCl. The beakers labeled 6-10 were utilized in determining the buffer’s ability to neutralize the strong…

    The pI values of aspartic acid, histidine and isoleucine are 2.77, 7.59 and 6.02 respectively. Therefore, at the initial pH of 3.25, the negatively charged aspartic acid eluted first as it did not bind to the negative resin. This occurred in fraction numbers 3 and 4. Next to elute was isoleucine. While uncharged at neutral pH, at a lower pH, it was slightly positively charged. As a result, it did not elute immediately. With increasing pH and ionic strength, it did not bind the negative resin anymore and eluted. This occurred at fraction numbers 7 and 8. Last to elute was histidine. Histidine was positive at the initial pH. As a result, it was bound to the negative resin and only eluted with increasing pH and ionic strength. This was evident at fraction number 12. When comparing these experimental observations to observations and patterns seen in literature, it is evident that the findings of this investigation were consistent with theory. As P. B. Hamilton determined during a study on chromatography of amino acids, negatively charged amino acids elute first in cation exchange, followed by uncharged amino acids and positively charged amino acids [3]. Elution rates were dictated by the alteration of pH and salt concentration. Figures 4 through 6 demonstrate the ionization states of the three amino acids examined in this…
