Jose’s lab instructor gives him a solution of sodium phosphate that is buffered to a pH of 4. Because of an error that he made while calibrating the pH meter, Jose’s measurements of the pH of the sodium phosphate solution are 5.4, 5.4, and 5.4. Which statement best describes his results?

Click the button that shows the correct relationship of the electron affinities of the elements sodium and phosphorus. sodium’s electron affinity value is more negative than the electron affinity value of phosphorus. phosphorus’ electron affinity value is more negative than the electron affinity value of sodium. this information cannot be determined using the periodic table. answer is b on e2020.
