10) You want to create a buffer using phosphoric acid and Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate. what is the best pH at which to make the buffer? using that pH and a concentration of 1M. Determine the molar concentrations of each component (acid and base) needed to make the buffer. If you need 100mL of the buffer, how many mL of 2.5 M phosphoric acid will you need? How many grams of the Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate do you need?
11) using the buffer you created in problem 10 calculate the change in pH if you add 1 mL of 0.50M HCl to the buffer.
12) using the buffer you created in problem 10. calculate the change in pH if you add 2 mL of 0.50 NaOH to the buffer.
