Answer:
The pH of the buffer solution = 8.05
Explanation:
Using the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation;
pH = pKa₂ + log ( [HPO₄²-]/[H₂PO4⁻]
where pKa₂ = -log (Ka₂) = -log ( 6.1 * 10⁻⁸) = 7.21
Concentration of OH⁻ added = 0.069 M (i.e. 0.069 mol/L)
[H₂PO4⁻] after addition of OH⁻ = 0.165 - 0.069 = 0.096 M
[HPO₄²-] after addition of OH⁻ = 0.594 + 0.069 = 0.663 M
Therefore,
pH = 7.21 + log (0.663 / 0.096)
pH = 7.21 + 0.84
pH = 8.05
