The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the addition of `NaH2PO4` to `0.1M H3PO4`, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components**: - `NaH2PO4` is the sodium salt of the weak acid `H2PO4^-`, which acts as a weak base in this context. - `H3PO4` is phosphoric acid, a weak acid. 2. **Understand the Reaction**: - When `NaH2PO4` (which can donate `H2PO4^-` ions) is added to `H3PO4`, a weak acid, it creates a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. This is a classic scenario for forming a buffer solution. 3. **Buffer Solution Formation**: - The combination of a weak acid (H3PO4) and its conjugate base (H2PO4^-) results in the formation of an acidic buffer. Buffers resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. 4. **Effect on pH**: - In this case, since we are adding a weak base (from `NaH2PO4`) to a weak acid (`H3PO4`), the overall pH of the solution will increase. This is because the weak base will neutralize some of the acid, leading to a decrease in the concentration of free hydrogen ions (H^+) in the solution. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the addition of `NaH2PO4` to `0.1M H3PO4` will cause an increase in the pH of the solution due to the formation of an acidic buffer. ### Final Answer: The addition of `NaH2PO4` to `0.1M H3PO4` will cause an increase in pH, resulting in the formation of an acidic buffer. ---
