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 (NaH₂PO · H₂O, FW 138) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na₂HPO4, FW 142). Phosphoric acid (H₂PO4), a triprotic acid, has three pK₁ values: 2.14, 6.86, and 12.4. Calculate the weight in grams of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate needed to prepare 1.25 L of standard buffer with a total phosphate concentration of 0.09 M. NaH₂PO4 = g Na₂HPO4 = g

+ pH Changes in Buffers When a solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, it will be a buffer solution. Buffers resist change in pH following the addition of acid or base. A buffer solution prepared from a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A) is represented as HA (aq) → H¹ (aq) + A (aq) The buffer will follow Le Châtelier's principle. If acid is added, the reaction shifts to consume the added H+, forming more HA. When base is added, the base will react with H+, reducing its concentration. The reaction then shifts to replace H+ through the dissociation of HA into H+ and A™. In both instances. [H] tends to remain constant. The pH of a buffer is calculated by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: A] pH =pK₂ +log HA ▼ Part A pH = What is the pH of a buffer prepared by adding 0.607 mol of the weak acid HA to 0.507 mol of NaA in 2.00 L of solution?
