Phosphate and Acetate buffers

The different names for phosphate salts. Standardization buffers pH 4 and pH 7. Ph range of some buffer systems. Making up buffer solutions by adding an adjuster solution (acid or base) to a known volume and concentration of a primary salt solution. Potassium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phthalate, sodium acetate,sodium tetraborate, tris aminomethane.

Phosphates
Phosphate salts are known by several names and the correct phosphate must be used to prepare buffer solutions. One phosphate cannot be substituted for another phosphate. Check formula of salt to be certain.
Formula Name of salt Other names

potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate monobasic potassium phosphate potassium dihydrogen KH2PO4 monopotassium phosphate phosphate acid potassium phosphate potassium biphosphate dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate potassium hydrogen dipotassium hydrogen phosphate phosphate dibasic potassium phosphate dipotassium phosphate potassium phosphate tribasic potassium phosphate tripotassium phosphate

Standardization buffers
For pH=7.00 : Add 29.1 ml of 0.1 molar NaOH to 50 ml 0.1 molar potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Alternatively : Dissolve 1.20g of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.885g of disidium hydrogen phosphate in 1 liter volume distilled water. For pH= 4.00 : Add 0.1 ml of 0.1 molar NaOH to 50 ml of 0.1 molar potassium hydrogen phthalate . Alternatively : Dissolve 8.954g of disodium hydrogen phosphste.12 H2O and 3.4023g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in 1 liter volume distilled water.
