Suppose you wanted to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00 using KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4. If the final solution was 0.18 M in KH2PO4, you would need 0.25 M Na2HPO4. Now assume you wish to make a buffer at the same pH, using the same substances, but want the total phosphate molarity ([HPO42−]+[H2PO−4]) to equal 0.20 M. What concentration of the Na2HPO4 would be required?

Manufacturers make carbonated drinks by forcing pressurized carbon dioxide gas into flavored water. A chemical reaction between water molecules and some of the CO2 molecules creates hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate, which is a buffer. In your opinion, is this reaction likely to raise the pH of a soda above 7, or lower it? Give your reasoning.
