Question

a) Which of the two of the following compounds would you mix to make a buffer of pH 7.45 phosphoric acid (FM=98.00), sodium dihydrogen phosphate (FM=119.98), disodium hydrogen phosphate (FM=141.96), or sodium phosphate (FM=163.94)?
b) If you wanted to prepare 1.pp L of buffer with a total phosphate concentration of 0.0500M, how man grams of the selected compounds would you mix together?
c) If you did what you calculated in part (b), you would not get a pH of exactly 7.45. Explain exactly how you would really prepare the buffer in the lab. a) Which of the two of the following compounds would you mix to make a buffer of pH 7.45 phosphoric acid (FM=98.00), sodium dihydrogen phosphate (FM=119.98), disodium hydrogen phosphate (FM=141.96), or sodium phosphate (FM=163.94)?
