Phosphoric Acid Second Neutralization

H3PO4 + 2NaOH → Na2HPO4 + 2H2O

Visão geral

Partial neutralization of phosphoric acid with two equivalents of NaOH produces disodium hydrogen phosphate. This salt forms solutions near pH 9.2 and is one component of the phosphate buffer system widely used in biochemistry. The dibasic form is the predominant species at physiological pH.
