Phosphoric acid (structure shown below) is a common acid used in buffer solutions. Even though the structure shows three equivalent hydrogen atoms, there are three different pKa values associated with the compound (pKa1 ≈ 2, pKa2 ≈ 7, pKa3 ≈ 12). Why do the three hydrogen atoms have different pKa values? How many of the hydrogen atoms will be removed in a buffer solution at pH 4?

In this lab, we will observe how weak acid solutions can work as a buffer. In this context, "buffer" refers to a solution that maintains a nearly constant pH, which is essential for biological systems to function properly. For example, the pH of human blood varies only slightly between the values of 7.35-7.45. Which of the following statements is true regarding the "buffer" in this context? "Buffer" refers to any solution that contains acid and base. All buffers can maintain...
