Help, Molarity Problem. Been working on it for 10-15 hours.
« on: December 09, 2007, 03:48:00 AM »
The question is:

Determine the pH and concentrations of H+ K+ OH- H2PO4-, HPO4 2-, PO4 3-, from a 1.00 L solution containing 0.0250mol KH2PO4 and 0.030mol KOH.

I really do not think there is enough information here to solve. I have scoured the internet for a Ksp or Ka for KH2PO4 and cannot find anything. I have correctly found the concentration of K+ to be .055M, but cant figure out anything else.

Anyone willing to help me would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Would be very helpful if someone could help by Sunday Dec. 9. Thanks!

KH2PO4 is soluble well enough, you may safely ignore Kso.

No such thing as Ka of KH2PO4 - but you can find dissociation constant values for phosphoric acid.
