Calculate the pH of a solution of 15 mL K2HPO4 at 01 molarit
Calculate the pH of a solution of 15 mL K2HPO4 at 0.1 molarity, 5 mL KH2PO4 at 0.1 molarity and 30 mL water.
Solution
As it is is buffer soln
so pH= pKa+log[K2HPO4]/[KH2PO4]
= 7.16+log[1.5]/0.5
= 7.637
As we knw
Ka for Kh2po4 is 6.2 *10^-8
and Pka= -logka
[k2hpo4] = 15*0.1 = 1.5 mM
and [Kh2po4] = 0.1*5 = 0.5
