The molar ratio of HPO42- to H2PO4- in a solution is 1.4. Calculate the pH of the solution. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a triprotic acid with 3 pKa values: 2.14, 6.86, and 12.4.

Sagot :

Given is the ratio of conjugate base and conjugate acid of phosphoric acid. pH of a substance is the concentration of the hydrogen ions in its solution and higher this concentration lower is the value of pH.

pKa value is a measure of the strength of acid, it is the negative log of acid dissociation constant Ka.
