Why would the pH value pf a prepared buffer differ from the predicted value?

The calculated pH may be different from measured pH because when measuring the pH of the solution a pH meter is used to do so. However the Glass electrodes found in common pH meters respond not to the concentration of hydrogen ions, but to their activity, which depends on several factors, primarily on the ionic strength of the media. For example, calculation of pH of phosphate-buffered saline would give the value of 7.96, whereas the actual pH is 7.4.
