Answer #1

no of moles of NaH2PO4 = molarity *volume in L

                                    = 0.235*0.225 = 0.052875moles

no of moles of Na2HPO4 = molarity *volume in L

                                      = 0.371*0.225    = 0.083475moles

no of moles of NaH2Po4 after addition of 0.0297 moles of HNO3 = 0.052875+0.0297   = 0.082575moles

no of moles of Na2HPo4 after addition of 0.0297 moles of HNO3   = 0.083475-0.0297   = 0.053775moles

PKa = 7.21

PH   = PKa + log[Na2HPO4]/[NaH2PO4]

        = 7.21 + log0.053775/0.082575

        = 7.21 -0.1863

        = 7.0237 >>>>answer
