it is basic!!
Sodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) is a salt, not an acid. It is the conjugate base of phosphoric acid.
Yes, Na2HPO4, known as disodium hydrogen phosphate, can act as a weak acid and donate a proton to a base, behaving as an amphiprotic species. It can also act as a weak base and accept a proton from an acid.
No, NaH2PO4 is not a strong base. It is actually a weak acid and its conjugate base, Na2HPO4, is a weak base.
Na2HPO4 Thank hangtimepro for that one.
<p>No, it wouldn't. HCl is a strong acid, buffers usually consist of a weak acid or weak base in solution with the salt of the weak acid or base. Although apparently it can work for ph 1-1.2, but don't ask me why or how, and the multiple question floating around on this topic (Which of these mixtures CANNOT produce and effective buffer solution...? A) HCl and KCl B) Na2HPO4 and Na3PO4 C) NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 D) NaH2PO4 and Na2CO3 D) NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 E) HF and NaF) is definitely asking for HCl and KCl.<p> No, it wouldn't.

No. Na2HPO4 is only a monobasic acid, corresponding to the remaining hydrogen atom. This is a very weak acid.
Na2HPO4 Thank hangtimepro for that one.
One possible reaction is 2 NaOH + H3PO4 = Na2HPO4 + 2 H2O.

The buffer system of NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 works by releasing or absorbing hydrogen ions to prevent drastic changes in pH when an acid or base is added to the solution. This helps maintain a stable pH by resisting large fluctuations in acidity or alkalinity.
i don't , it seem be an acid NaH2PO4, Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, is an acid. The two hydrogen atoms can dissociate and lower the ph of a solution. That is to make it more acidic. Once all the hydrogen atoms that can dissociate have been replaced by sodium Na. the formula will look like this Na3PO4, at that point it would be called a 'salt' with a neutral ph.
For example, to obtain a solution with the pH=7,00 mix: 756 mL 0,1 M solution of Na2HPO4 with 244 mL of 0,1 M HCl solution.
Na2HPO4 is disodium phosphate or disodium hydrogen phosphate.
The compound Na2HPO4 is called disodium hydrogen phosphate.
