If you add 2 mL of 1M HCl to 600 mL of 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), what will be the resulting pH? (pKa of phosphate = 7.21)
Total concentration of phosphate = 25 mM
[H2PO4-] + [HPO42-] = 25 mM ...(1)
According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log([conjugate base] / [weak acid])
pH = pKa + log([HPO42-] / [H2PO4-])
8.0 = 7.21 + log([HPO42-] / [H2PO4-])
log([HPO42-] / [H2PO4-]) = 8.0 - 7.21
log([HPO42-] / [H2PO4-]) = 0.79
[HPO42-] / [H2PO4-] = 100.79
[HPO42-] / [H2PO4-] = 6.166 ...(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2), we get
[H2PO4-] = 3.49 mM
[HPO42-] = 21.51 mM
moles H2PO4- = (concentration H2PO4-) * (volume of buffer)
moles H2PO4- = (3.49 mM) * (0.600 L)
moles H2PO4- = 2.1 mmol
moles HPO42- = (concentration HPO42-) * (volume of buffer)
moles HPO42- = (21.51 mM) * (0.600 L)
moles HPO42- = 12.9 mmol
moles HCl added = (concentration HCl) * (volume HCl)
moles HCl added = (1 M) * (2 mL)
moles HCl added = 2 mmol
HCl will convert HPO42- to H2PO4-
new moles H2PO4- = (initial moles H2PO4-) + (moles HCl)
new moles H2PO4- = (2.1 mmol) + (2 mmol)
new moles H2PO4- = 4.1 mmol
new moles HPO42- = (initial moles HPO42-) - (moles HCl)
new moles HPO42- = (12.9 mmol) - (2 mmol)
new moles HPO42- = 10.9 mmol
Again using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log([HPO42-] / [H2PO4-])
pH = pKa + log(new moles HPO42- / new moles H2PO4-)
pH = 7.21 + log(10.9 mmol / 4.1 mmol)
pH = 7.21 + log(2.65)
pH = 7.21 + 0.42
pH = 7.63
Resulting pH is 7.63
