Question

Calculate the equilibrium concentration (in M) of PO43− that would be present in a mixture that is originally 0.015 M H3PO4 as well as 0.005 M NaH2PO4, given the following information:  

 

H3PO4(aq)   ↔   H+(aq)   +   H2PO4(aq)                   Ka1  =  1.5 x 10−5

 

H2PO4(aq)   ↔   H+(aq)   +   HPO42−(aq)                 Ka2  =  2.5 x 10−7

 

HPO42−(aq)   ↔   H+(aq)   +   PO43−(aq)                    Ka3  =  3.5 x 10−9
