Explanation:
According to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the relation between pH and is as follows.
pH =
where, pH = 7.4 and = 7.21
As here, we can use the nearest to the desired pH.
So, 7.4 = 7.21 +
0.19 =
= 1.55
1 mM phosphate buffer means +
= 1 mM
Therefore, the two equations will be as follows.
= 1.55 ............. (1)
+
= 1 mM ........... (2)
Now, putting the value of from equation (1) into equation (2) as follows.
1.55 = 1 mM
2.55 = 1 mM
= 0.392 mM
Putting the value of in equation (1) we get the following.
0.392 mM + = 1 mM
= (1 - 0.392) mM
= 0.608 mM
Thus, we can conclude that concentration of the acid must be 0.608 mM.
