2. Sodium salts of phosphoric acid, H3PO4, are used extensively in the preparation of buffers. The Ka values of phosphoric acid are 7.5 x 10-3, 6.2 x 10-8, and 4.8 x 10-13. Calculate the corresponding pKa values (3). If you want the buffer to have a pH of 7.4, which of the salts do you need and why ? (2) Note : you do not need to calculate any amounts!
pKa = -logKa
H3PO4/NaH2PO4 Ka1 =7.5x10-3 ; pKa = 2.1
NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 Ka2 =6.2x10-8 ; pKa = 7.2
Na2HPO4/Na3PO4 Ka3 =4.8x10-13 ; pKa = 12.3
Buffers works best when the pKa corresponds to the desired pH.
Look up the pKa (or Ka) values associated with each acid/base conjugate pair which is closed to the desired pH = 7.4
NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 is the right choice for the buffer of desired pH.
