You wish to prepare a test solution that is buffered at pH8.2. The reactor is to be operated at 25C. After careful study you have chosen to use a phosphate buffer. (a) What is the ratio of NaH2PO4 to Na2HPO4 that should be used? (1.5 pts) (b) What is the minimum total phosphate concentration that must be used if the pH is not to deviate from 8.2 by more than 0.02 units, when 104M strong acid or base is added? ( 2.5 pts)
