Estimate the pH of the resulting solution prepared by mixing 1.0 mole of solid disodium phosphate and 1.25 mole of hydrochloric acid. The pKas of phosphoric acid are 2.1,7.2,12.4. The answer is 2.1<pH<7.2. Please explain.

Solutions

Expert Solution

first equilibrium

Na2HPO4 + HCl -----------------------------> NaH2PO4 + NaCl

1.0                1.25                                           0                  0

0.0                 0.25                                       1.0             1.0

second equilibrium

NaH2PO4 + HCl --------------------> H3PO4 + NaCl

1.0               0.25                            0                0

0.75              0                              0.25            0.25

pH    = pKa1 + log [NaH2PO4 / H3PO4 ]

pH = 2.1 + log (0.75 / 0.25)

pH = 2.58

2.58 is in between 2.1 to 7.2 . so answer is satisfied
