Question

Buffers are solutions that buffer against large changes in pH when an acid or base is added.  Buffers contain a weak acid to neutralize added base, and a weak base to neutralize added acid.  Most buffer problems want you to calculate the pH.  For example,

Calculate the pH of a buffer made from dihydrogen phosphate and hydrogen phosphate when the [H2PO4-1] = 4.44 x 10-5 M, the  [HPO4-2] = 5.55 x 10-5 M, and the Ka = 6.20 x 10-8.

i. First, identify the acid. It's either H2PO41 or HPO4?. The acid is
because it has the most acidic hydrogens.
ii. Then write the reaction for the acid dissolving in water
+ H20
HPO42
+ H30+1
iii. Then write the expression for the Ka
[HPO42][ H30*1]
Ka
iv. Then solve for [ H30*l] and input the numbers
Ką [
(6.20 х 10-8)
[ H30*l] =
[HPO42]
(5.55 x 10-5)
v. Finally calculate the pH
pH = -log(
) =
A. H2PO41
В. НРОД2
С. РОД3
D. H3PОД
E. 6.20 x 10-8
F. 4.44 x 10-5
G. 5.55 x 105
