Use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, calculate the mole ratio of potassium phosphate buffer
Added by Samuel W.
Step 1
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is pH = pKa + log ([A-]/[HA]), where [A-] is the concentration of the base (in this case, potassium phosphate) and [HA] is the concentration of the acid (in this case, phosphoric acid). Show more…

Consider the buffer system, phosphate buffer H2PO4- ↔ HPO4-2 + H+ Or more appropriately written as: H2PO4- + H2O ↔ HPO4-2 + H+ From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, calculate the ratio of dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4-) and hydrogen phosphate (HPO42-) components required to produce buffer solution with 1. pH 6.22. pH 7.23. pH 8.2
