A buffer solution 0.04 M in `Na_2HPO_4 and 0.02 ` M in `Na_3 PO_4` is prepared. The electrolytic oxidation of 1.0 milli -mole of the organic compound RNHOH is carried out in 100 mL of the buffer. The reaction is `RNHOH +H_2O to RNO_2 +4H ^(+) + 4e ^(-) ` The approximate pH of solution after the oxidation is complete is: [Given : for `H_3O PO_4, pK_(a_1) =7.20 , pK_(a_2) =12]`
