Reaction with Metals

A buffer solu...

Question

A buffer solution $0.04 M$ in $N a_{2} H P O_{4}$ and $0.02 M$ in $N a_{3} P O_{4}$ is prepared. The electrolytic oxidation of $1.0$ milli-mole of the organic compound $R N H O H$ is carried out in $100 m L$ of the buffer. The reaction is
$R N H O H + H_{2} O ⟶ R N O_{2} + 4 H_{4}^{+} e^{-}$
The approximate $p H$ of solution after the oxidation is complete is:
[Given: for $H_{3} P O_{4}, p K_{a_{1}} = 2.2; p K_{a_{2}} = 7.2; p K_{a_{3}} = 12$ ]

Solution

The correct option is C $7.5$
As we know,
$p H = p K_{a} + l o g [s a l t] / [a c i d]$
$p H = 7.2 + l o g (4 / 2) = 7.2 + 0.3 = 7.5$ .
