Prepare 250.00 mL of an phosphate buffer (pKa=7.199) with a total phosphate ion concentration of 0.020000 M and a pH of 7.100.
Calculate the amount of the Monobasic Potassium Phosphate (KH2PO4 FW=136.086) required to prepare this solution. Report your answer in grams.
____________ grams
Calculate the amount of Dibasic Sodium Phosphate (Na2HPO4 FW=141.959) required to prepare this solution. Report your answer in grams.
____________ grams
the pKa is given as 7.199 for:
HPO4-2 and H2PO4-
then
pH = pKa2 + log(HPO4-2/ H2PO4-)
7.10 = 7.199 + log(HPO4-2/ H2PO4-)
(HPO4-2/ H2PO4-) = 10^(7.10-7.199)
(HPO4-2/ H2PO4-) = 0.796
we know that
(HPO4-2 + H2PO4-) = 0.02*250 = 5 mmol
from ratio
(HPO4-2/ H2PO4-) = 0.796
HPO4-2 = 0.796* H2PO4-
(HPO4-2 + H2PO4-) = 5
0.796* H2PO4- + H2PO4- = 5
H2PO4- = 5/(0.796+1) = 2.7839 mmol
KH2PO4 = 2.7839 mmol
mass = mmol*MW = 2.7839*136.086 = 378.849 mg = 0.378849 g
now..
(HPO4-2 + H2PO4-) = 5
HPO4- = 5-2.7839 = 2.2161
Na2HPO4 = 2.2161 mmol
mass = mmol*MW = 2.2161*141.959 = 314.595 mg = 0.314595 g of Na2HPO4
