Step 1
1 of 3Given data:
We have to determine the molar ratio of hydrogenphosphate anion to phosphate acid.
Buffer solutions consists of a week acid and its conjugate base. Since the hydrogenphosphate anion is a conjugated base of phosphate acid, we can assume that we have a buffer solution here.
Buffer solutions follow the Handerson's Hasselbach equation:
So, knowing the constant dissociation at the pH value, we can determine the molar ratio of acid and its conjugate base.
