Stereocenter

Suppose you have a phosphate buffer of pH 7.21. If you add more solid NaH2PO4 to this buffer, would you expect the pH of the buffer to increase, decrease, or remain unchanged? Explain.

pH = 7.21 + log [HPO4^2-] / [H2PO4^-] As the concentration of H2PO4- increases, the log becomes negative, lowering the pH and becoming more acidic.
