Problem
Two litre solution of a buffer mixture containing 1.0 M NaH2PO4 and 1.0 M Na2HPO4 is placed in two compartments (one litre in each) of an electrolytic cell. The platinum electrodes are inserted in each compartment and 1.25 ampere current is passed for 212 minute. Assuming electrolysis of water only at each compartment. What will be pH in each compartment after passage of above charge? ( pKa for H2PO4−=2.15 ).
