Question

A biochemical reaction takes place in a 1.00 ml solution of 0.0250 M
phosphate buffer initially at pH = 7.20 (as shown for pKas of phosphate
species).
(a) Are the concentrations of any of the four possible phosphate species
negligible? If so, identify them and explain your answer.
(b) During the reaction, 3.80 μmol of HCl are produced. Calculate the final
pH of the reaction solution. Assume that the HCl is completely neutralized
by the buffer.
