Question
The glass electrode used in commercial pH meters gives an electrical response proportional to the concentration of hydrogen
ion. Converting these responses to a pH reading requires calibration of the electrode against standard solutions of known
H* concentration.
Preparation of the pH 7.00 standard buffer uses sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH,PO, H₂O, FW 138) and disodium
hydrogen phosphate (Na₂HPO, FW 142). Phosphoric acid (H,PO,), a triprotic acid, has three pK, values: 2.14, 6.86, and
12.4.
Calculate the weight in grams of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate needed to prepare 1.75 L of
standard buffer with a total phosphate concentration of 0.10 M.
NaH, PO
g
Na₂HPO4 =
