please answer both.

16. Perform all of the following calculations.
a) To simulate blood conditions, a phosphate buffer system with a pH = 7.40 is desired.
What mass of Na2HPO4(s) must be added to 0.500 L of 0.10 M NaH₂PO4(aq) to
prepare such a buffer? Assume the Na2HPO4(s) added does not change the volume of
the buffer significantly. Draw a picture of the buffer system to assist you.
Ka of H₂PO4 = 6.2 × 10-8 at 25°C
b) The K₂ of H3PO4(aq) is 7.6 × 10³ at 25°C. Predict whether a solution of NaH₂PO4(aq)
is relatively acidic or basic, using any information in Part a) to assist you. No guessing.
Show appropriate calculations or write a detailed explanation.
Kw = 1.0 × 10-¹4 at 25°C
