Answer :

The correct answer   for Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g and mass of  NaH₂PO₄  = 8.23 g

Given :  pH = 6.86

Total concentration of Phosphate buffer = 0.1 M

Asked : Mass of  Sodium phosphate monobasic (NaH₂PO₄) = ?

Mass of  Sodium phosphate dibasic(Na₂HPO₄)= ?

Following steps can be done to find the masses of NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ :

(In phosphate buffer , Na+ ion from  NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ acts as spectator ion , so only H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻ will be considered )

<u>Step 1 : To find pka </u>

H₂PO₄⁻  <=> HPO₄²⁻  

The above reaction has pka = 7.2 ( from image shown )

<u>Step 2 : Plug values in Hasselbalch- Henderson equation </u>.

Hasselbalch -Henderson equation is to find pH  for buffer solution which is as follows :

pH = pka + log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

pH = 6.86         pKa = 7.2

6.86 = 7.2 + log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

Subtracting  both side by 7.2

6.86-7.2 = 7.2 -7.2+ log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

-0.34 =  log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

Removing log

10^-^0^.^3^4 =   \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457 ---------------- equation (1)

<u>Step 3 : To find  molarity of H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻</u>

Total concentration of buffer = [H₂PO₄⁻] + [HPO₄²⁻] = 0.1 M

Hence,  [H₂PO₄⁻ ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] =  0.1 M

Assume [H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x

So ,  [x ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] =  0.1 M

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] =  0.1 - x

Step 4 : Plugging value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ]  and  [ HPO₄²⁻ ]

[H₂PO₄⁻ ]  = x

 [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

Equation (1) = >\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457

Plug value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ]  and  [ HPO₄²⁻ ] ( from step 3 ) into equation (1)  as :

\frac{[0.1 - x ]}{[ x]} = 0.457

Cross multiplying

0.1 - x  = 0.457 x

Adding x on both side

0.1 -x + x = 0.457 x + x

0.1  = 1.457 x

Dividing both side by 1.457

\frac{0.1}{1.457} = \frac{1.457 x }{1.457}

x = 0.0686 M

Hence , [H₂PO₄⁻ ]  = x  = 0.0686 M

 [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

 [ HPO₄²⁻ ]  =   0.1 - 0.0686  

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.0314 M

Step 5 : To find moles of  H₂PO₄⁻ ( NaH₂PO₄) and HPO₄²⁻ (Na₂HPO₄ ) .

Molarity is defined as mole of solute per 1 L volume of solution .

Molarity of NaH₂PO₄ = 0.0686 M  or 0.0686 mole per 1 L

Molarity of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 M  or 0.0314 mole per 1 L

Since  that volume of buffer solution  is 1 L , so Molarity  = mole

Hence Mole of NaH₂PO₄  = 0.0686 mol

Mole of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 mol

<u>Step 6 : To find mass  of Na₂HPO₄  and NaH₂PO₄ </u>

Moles of  Na₂HPO₄  and NaH₂PO₄  can be converted to their masses using molar mass as follows :

Molar mass of  Na₂HPO₄  = 141.96 \frac{g}{mol}

Molar mass of NaH₂PO₄ = 119.98 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass (g) = mole (mol)* molar mass(\frac{g}{mol})

Mass of Na_2HPO_4 = 0.0314 mol * 141.96 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g

Mass of NaH_2PO_4 = 0.0686 mol * 119.98 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass of  NaH₂PO₄  = 8.23 g

Why does distillation produce pure water but filtration does not?
ASHA 777 [7]

Filtration is used to separate large particles but this process does not provide pure solutions as some impurities still remain in the solution. On the other hand, distillation helps in the formation of pure water as it removes the impurities from the water or solution.
