How much monobasic and dibasic phosophate is needed to make 100 mL buffer containing 100 moles of each phosphate?
Expert Solution
Step 1

A buffer solution is solution that is used to maintain the pH of the solution to be constant. A buffer solution is made of a weak acid and its conjugate base or sometimes weak base at is conjugate acid.

When a small amount of strong acid is added to the solution, the conjugate base or the weak base will try to neutralize the the strong acid. Similarly, when a small amount of strong base is added to the solution, the weak acid or conjugate acid will neutralize the incoming base. In this way, pH of the solution is not affected significantly.
