KH₂PO₄ hydrolyzes as;
H₂PO₄⁻ + H₂O ↔ H₃PO₄ + OH⁻
Let x amount of H₂PO₄⁻ has reacted with water then,
Kb₁ = [H₃PO₄][OH⁻] / [H₂PO₄⁻]
[H₂PO₄⁻] = 0.8-x M
Kb₁ = x² / (0.8 - x)
Given Ka₁ = 7.5 x 10⁻³
so Kb₁ = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / (7.5 x 10⁻³) = 1.33 x 10⁻¹²
From this information:
1.33 x 10⁻¹² = x² / 0.8
x = [OH⁻] = 1.03 x 10⁻⁶ M
pOH = - log (1.03 x 10⁻⁶) = 5.99
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.99 = 8.01
