Potassium Phosphate Buffer pH 7.4
Potassium Phosphate Buffer pH 7.4 is an important solution in medical and scientific laboratories. It is widely used in biological and biochemical experiments to keep the pH stable, which is crucial for many biological reactions. In histology, it can be used as a component of staining and fixing solutions.
Chemically, the buffer consists of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate. These two salts dissociate in water to form phosphate ions and potassium ions, which together form a buffer system. The chemical formula for potassium dihydrogen phosphate is KH2PO4 and for dipotassium hydrogen phosphate is K2HPO4.
The application of potassium phosphate buffer can lead to stable and reliable results in a variety of experiments by helping to maintain the pH in an optimal range.
The molarity of the solution is about 0.0198 M, the osmolarity is about 0.0396 Osm/L, and the buffer capacity is about 0.247.
