Question

We want to prepare 1.00 L of a buffer solution with a pH of 7.77. The following acid/base pairs are available. Which is appropriate to use for preparing this buffer?

H3PO4/NaH2PO4 Ka = 7.5 × 10-3 pKa = 2.12
CH3CO2H/NaCH3CO2 Ka = 1.8 × 10-5 pKa = 4.74
NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 Ka = 6.2 × 10-8 pKa = 7.21
NH4Cl/NH3 Ka = 5.6 × 10-10 pKa = 9.25

what mass of Na2HPO4 is required? Assume a 1.00 L volume buffer solution.

Target pH = 7.77
Acid/Base pair: NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4
pKa = 7.21
[Na2HPO4] > [NaH2PO4]
[NaH2PO4] = 0.100 M
12.0 g NaH2PO4 required
[base]/[acid] = 3.63
[Na2HPO4] = 0.363 M
