  3. Introduction

  4. Buffer • A buffer is an aqueous solution that has a highly stable pH. If acid or base is added to a buffered solution, its pH will not change significantly. • When hydrogen ions are added to a buffer, they will be neutralized by the base in the buffer. Hydroxide ions will be neutralized by the acid. • Neutralization reactions will not have much effect on the overall pH of the buffer solution.

  5. Phosphate Buffer • Most commonly used phosphate buffers, consist of a mixture of monobasic di hydrogen phosphate and dibasic mono hydrogen phosphate. • By varying the amount of each salt, a range of buffers can be prepared. • Phosphates have a very high buffering capacity and are highly soluble in water.

  6. Phosphates inhibit many enzymatic reactions and procedures that are the foundation of molecular cloning, including cleavage of DNA by many restriction enzymes, ligation of DNA, and bacterial transformation. • Phosphates precipitate in ethanol, it is not possible to precipitate DNA and RNA from buffers that contain significant quantities of phosphate ions.

  8. Apparatus and Chemicals • Two Potassium salts, KH2PO4 and K2HPO4 • Distilled H2O • pH Meter • Flasks • Beakers • Analytical Balance • Spoon • Paper • Pencil • Measuring Cylinder

  9. Layout and protocol of the Experiment

  10. 2.72 grams KH2PO4 10 ml A 0 ml B 9 ml A 1 ml B 0 ml A 10 ml B 3.40 grams K2HPO4 0.1 M solution 0.1 M solution 200 ml Dist H2O 200 ml Dist H2O A B Measurement of pH using pH meter

  11. Protocol • Prepare 0.1 M solution of KH2PO4 , 2.72 grams of KH2PO4 is dissolved in 200 ml of distilled water and shake well in beaker. (A) • In another beaker Prepare 0.1 M solution of K2HPO4 , 3.46 grams of K2HPO4 is dissolved in 200 ml of distilled water and shake well . (B) • The solutions are mixed together in such away that 10 ml of A and 0 ml of B in separate beaker, 9 ml of A and 1 ml of B, 0 ml of A and 10 ml of B and so on.

  12. pH of every beaker containing mixed solutions are measured with the help of pH meter. • pH values are put in the table.
