hosphate buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH. The osmolality and ion concentrations of the solution usually match those of the human body. You need to prepare a stock solution at pH 7.00 with NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 (pKa =7.21). What would be the respective concentration of these substances if you wish to obtain the final phosphate concentration [HPO4 −2] + [H2PO4 −] = 0.3 M?  What will be the pH of the solution after adding 0.18 L of 0.2 M NaOH?  What is the ratio of HPO4−2 of H2PO4 – is part b, and what is the significance?
