Design a procedure to prepare 75 ml of 0.10 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (KH2PO4) and 75 ml of 0.10 M dipotassium hydrogen phosphate solution (K2HPO4) from the solids. (Hint: What mass of the above solids is required to make 75 ml of a 0.10 M solution?)
75 ml of 0.1M KH2PO4
molar mass of KH2PO4 is 136
no of moles = molarity * volume in L
= 0.1*0.075 = 0.0075 moles
mass of KH2PO4 = no of moles * gram molar mass
= 0.0075*136 = 1.02gm
One can prepare a 100ml solution of 0.1M KH2PO4 by dissolving 1.36gm of KH2PO4 in a volumetric flask and making up the vlume chances of any error be less than making 75ml of solution.
75 ml of 0.1M of K2HPO4
molar mass of K2HPO4 is 174
no of moles of K2HPO4 = molarity* volume in L
= 0.1* 0.075 = 0.0075 moles
mass of K2HPO4 = no of moles * gram molar mass
= 0.0075*174 = 1.305 gm of K2HPO4
Same as above making a 100 ml 0.1 M K2HPO4 solution with 1.74 gm of K2HPO4 in 100 ml volumetric flask would reduce chances of error
