Question

A buffer solution 0.04 M in Na2HPO4 and 0.02 M in Na3PO4 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+H2ORNO2+4H+4e
The approximate pH of solution after the oxidation is complete is:
[Given: for H3PO4, pKa1=2.2; pKa2=7.2; pKa3=12]

Solution

The correct option is C 7.5
As we know,
pH=pKa+log[salt]/[acid]
pH=7.2+log(4/2)=7.2+0.3=7.5.
