As a technician in a large pharmaceutical research firm, you need to produce 350. ml of 1.00 m potassium phosphate buffer solution of ph = 7.07. the pka of h2po4− is 7.21. you have the following supplies: 2.00 l of 1.00 m kh2po4 stock solution, 1.50 l of 1.00 m k2hpo4 stock solution, and a carboy of pure distilled h2o. how much 1.00 m kh2po4 will you need to make this solution?

You need to add 203 mL of 1,00M KH₂PO₄ and 147 mL of 1,00M K₂HPO₄.

Explanation:

It is possible to use Henderson–Hasselbalch equation to estimate pH in a buffer solution:

pH = pka + log₁₀

Where A⁻ is conjugate base and HA is conjugate acid

The equilibrium of phosphate buffer is:

H₂PO₄⁻ ⇄ HPO4²⁻ + H⁺    Kₐ₂ = 6,20x10⁻⁸; pka=7,21

Thus, Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for 7,07 phosphate buffer is:

7,07 = 7,21 + log₁₀

0,7244 = (1)

As the buffer concentration must be 1,00 M:

1,00 = [H₂PO₄⁻] + [HPO4²] (2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

[H₂PO₄⁻] = 0,5799 M

Thus:

[HPO4²] = 0,4201 M

To obtain these concentrations you need to add:

0,5799 M × 0,350 L × = 0,203 L ≡ 203 mL of 1,00M KH₂PO₄

And:

0,4201 M × 0,350 L × = 0,203 L ≡ 147 mL of 1,00M K₂HPO₄

I hope it helps!

considering the question as per the attachment

here we can see that the radon nuclide has 222 as the atomic mass number and 86 as the atomic number.

when it undergoes nuclear fission it gives polonium which has atomic mass number as 218 and atomic number will be 84 along with a helium nucleus which has 4 atomic mass number and 2 as its atomic number.

222 = 218 + 4 (atomic mass number)

86 = ? + 2; therefore ? = 86-2 = 84.

the atomic mass number of polonium will be 84.
