Question
Phosphoric acid is a triprotic acid (Ka1=6.9×10−3Ka1=6.9×10−3, Ka2=6.2×10−8Ka2=6.2×10−8, and Ka3=4.8×10−13Ka3=4.8×10−13).
To find the pH of a buffer composed of H2PO−4(aq)H2PO4−(aq) and HPO2−4(aq)HPO42−(aq), which pKaKa value should be used in theHenderson–Hasselbalch equation?
pKa1Ka1 = 2.16
pKa2Ka2 = 7.21
pKa3Ka3 = 12.32
Calculate the pH of a buffer solution obtained by dissolving 27.027.0 g of KH2PO4(s)KH2PO4(s) and 45.045.0 g of Na2HPO4(s)Na2HPO4(s) in water and then diluting to 1.00 L.
