K+ PO3(4-) MW: 212.28 ...... am I missing something here? how does mw change as pH changes?

It does not...and while you have the corrrect MW it looks like you may have mistyped the formula for [itex]K_3PO_4 [/itex]

Molecular Weight Question


Buffers are mixtures so there is no such thing as molar mass. Molar concentration of buffer refers to the total concentration of both acid and conjugated base.
