Q.

100 mL of 0.5 M Na3PO4 aqueous solution is mixed with 80 mL of 1.25 M HCl solution. The pH of the final solution is (Given: Ka1, Ka2, Ka3 of H3PO4 are 10-3, 10-5 and 10-7 respectively)

1 6  
2 4  
3 3.5  
4 4.7  

Ans.

(2)

Hint: m. moles of Na3PO4=50

M moles of HCl = 100

Final solution will have NaH2PO4 (amphoteric salt)

      ∴ pH=pKa1+pKa22=4
