Question
**Buffer Design Exercise**

**Objective:** Design a buffer with a pH of 7.70 using one of the weak acid/conjugate base systems shown below.

| Weak Acid | Conjugate Base | \( K_a \) | \( pK_a \) |
|-----------|----------------|-----------|------------|
| \( \text{HC}_2\text{O}_4^- \) | \( \text{C}_2\text{O}_4^{2-} \) | \( 6.4 \times 10^{-5} \) | 4.19 |
| \( \text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^- \) | \( \text{HPO}_4^{2-} \) | \( 6.2 \times 10^{-8} \) | 7.21 |
| \( \text{HCO}_3^- \) | \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \) | \( 4.8 \times 10^{-11} \) | 10.32 |

**Task:** Calculate the amount of potassium salt of the weak acid and the potassium salt of its conjugate base needed to produce 1.00 L of a buffer that is 1.00 M in the weak base.

**Calculations Required:**

- **Grams potassium salt of weak acid =** [Input required]
- **Grams potassium salt of conjugate base =** [Input required]
