The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the pH of a buffer solution formed by mixing NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the components of the buffer solution We have two components: - **NaH2PO4** (which acts as the weak acid) - **Na2HPO4** (which acts as the salt of the weak acid) ### Step 2: Determine the volumes and concentrations We are given: - Volume of NaH2PO4 = 10 ml - Concentration of NaH2PO4 = 0.1 M - Volume of Na2HPO4 = 15 ml - Concentration of Na2HPO4 = 0.1 M ### Step 3: Calculate the milli equivalents of each component To find the milli equivalents, we use the formula: \[ \text{milli equivalents} = \text{volume (L)} \times \text{concentration (mol/L)} \times 1000 \] - For **NaH2PO4**: \[ \text{milli equivalents of NaH2PO4} = 0.01 \, \text{L} \times 0.1 \, \text{mol/L} \times 1000 = 1 \, \text{meq} \] - For **Na2HPO4**: \[ \text{milli equivalents of Na2HPO4} = 0.015 \, \text{L} \times 0.1 \, \text{mol/L} \times 1000 = 1.5 \, \text{meq} \] ### Step 4: Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer solution is given by: \[ \text{pH} = \text{pKa} + \log\left(\frac{\text{milli equivalents of base}}{\text{milli equivalents of acid}}\right) \] Here, the base is Na2HPO4 and the acid is NaH2PO4. The pKa for the phosphate buffer system (H2PO4^- to HPO4^2-) is approximately 7.2. ### Step 5: Substitute the values into the equation \[ \text{pH} = 7.2 + \log\left(\frac{1.5}{1}\right) \] \[ \text{pH} = 7.2 + \log(1.5) \] Using the logarithmic value: \[ \log(1.5) \approx 0.176 \] So, \[ \text{pH} = 7.2 + 0.176 \approx 7.376 \] ### Step 6: Round the pH value Rounding this value gives us approximately: \[ \text{pH} \approx 7.4 \] ### Step 7: Conclusion The closest answer to our calculated pH is 7.5, which corresponds to option D. ### Final Answer: The pH of the solution formed by mixing 10 ml of 0.1 M NaH2PO4 and 15 ml of 0.1 M Na2HPO4 is approximately **7.5** (Option D). ---
