Let's check the phone application "buffers" for it's ability to calculate how to prepare a phosphate buffer.
Suppose I want 1 liter of a 0.1M phosphate buffer at a pH of 6.8.
Phosphate has a pK2 of 7.2
MW of monosodium phosphate (aka monobasic) is 119.98
MW of disodium phosphate (aka dibasic) is 141.96
You already calculated the fraction of dibasic we need from the H-H equation. In other words you solved
for A-/total.
That fraction times 0.1 moles is the amount of dibasic, multiply by the MW to get the weight of dibasic
we need. Answer will be in grams
Calculate to 3 sig figures
