Both in cells and extracellular fluids diabasic phosphate (HPO 4 ) and monobasic phosphate (H 2 PO - 4 ) act as acid base buffers to maintain

Phosphate Buffer System has 2 main components: •Sodium salts of dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO 4 ¯), a weak acid •Monohydrogen phosphate (HPO 4 2¯ ), a weak base This system is an effective acid base buffer to maintain H+ concentration of cellular fluid

Both in cells and extracellular fluids diabasic phosphate (HPO₄) and monobasic phosphate (H₂PO^-₄) act as acid base buffers to maintain

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Phosphate Buffer System has 2 main components:

•Sodium salts of dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO₄¯), a weak acid

•Monohydrogen phosphate (HPO₄^2¯), a weak base

This system is an effective acid base buffer to maintain H+ concentration of cellular fluid
