Solution:

According to the Henderson-Hasselalch equation:

TRIS-HCl + NaOH ---> TRIS + H2O + NaCl  

Treat TRIS-HCl as a monoprotic acid, so there is a 1:1 molar ratio between TRIS-HCl and NaOH.

This the required answer.


Explanation:

According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

         pH = [tex]pK_{a} + log(\frac{[TRIS]}{[TRISH^{+}]})[/tex]

When pH = pKa = 8.

Therefore,  

                  8 = 8 + [tex]log(\frac{[TRIS]}{[TRISH^{+}]})[/tex]

                    [tex]log(\frac{[TRIS]}{[TRISH^{+}]})[/tex] = 0

          [tex]\frac{[TRIS]}{[TRISH^{+}]}[/tex] = [tex]10^0[/tex]

                                  = 1

Hence,  [TRIS] = [tex][TRISH^+][/tex]

As, fraction of amine groups converted to [tex]NH3^+[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{[TRISH^+]}{([TRISH+] + [TRIS])}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{[TRISH^+]}{([TRISH+] + [TRISH^+])}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{[TRISH^+]}{(2[TRISH^+])}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

                = 0.5

Hence, we can conclude that fraction of the amine group coverted to [tex]NH3^{+}[/tex] is 0.5.
