Question:

(a) Which two of the following compounds would you mix to make a buffer of pH 7.45: H3PO4 (FM 98.00), NaH2PO4 (FM 119.98), Na2HPO4 (FM 141.96), and Na3PO4 (FM 163.94)?
(b) If you wanted to prepare 1.00 L of buffer with a total phosphate concentration of 0.050 0 M, how many grams of each of the two selected compounds would you mix together?
(c) If you did what you calculated in part (b), you would not get a pH of exactly 7.45. Explain how you would really prepare this buffer in the lab.
