NaH₂PO₄ =  1.876 g

Na₂HPO₄ =  4.879 g

Combinations: H₃PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄; H₃PO₄ and Na₃HPO₄

Explanation:

To have a buffer at 7.540, the acid must be in it second ionization, because the buffer capacity is pKa ± 1. So, we must use pKa2 = 7.198

The relation bewteen the acid and its conjugated base (ion), is given by the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA], where [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugated base, and [HA] the concentration of the acid. Then:

7.540 = 7.198 + log[A⁻]/[HA]

log[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.342

[A⁻]/[HA] =

[A⁻]/[HA] = 2.198

[A⁻] = 2.198*[HA]

The concentration of the acid and it's conjugated base must be equal to the concentration of the buffer 0.0500 M, so:

[A⁻] + [HA] = 0.0500

2.198*[HA] + [HA] = 0.0500

3.198*[HA] = 0.0500

[HA] = 0.01563 M

[A⁻] = 0.0500 - 0.01563

[A⁻] = 0.03436 M

The mix reaction is

NaH₂PO₄ + Na₂HPO₄ → HPO₄⁻² + 3Na + H₂PO₄⁻

The second ionization is:

H₂PO₄⁻ ⇄ HPO₄⁻² + H⁺

So, H₂PO₄⁻ is the acid form, and its concentration is the same as NaH₂PO₄, and HPO₄⁻² is the conjugated base, and its concentration is the same as Na₂HPO₄ (stoichiometry is 1:1 for both).

So, the number of moles of these salts are:

NaH₂PO₄ = 0.01563 M * 1.000 L = 0.01563 mol

Na₂HPO₄ = 0.03436 M* 1.000 L = 0.03436 mol

The molar masses are, Na: 23 g/mol, H: 1 g/mol, P: 31 g/mol, and O = 16 g/mol, so:

NaH₂PO₄ = 23 + 2*1 + 31 + 4*16 = 120 g/mol

Na₂HPO₄ = 2*23 + 1 + 31 + 4*16 = 142 g/mol

The mass is the number of moles multiplied by the molar mass, so:

NaH₂PO₄ = 0.01563 mol * 120 g/mol = 1.876 g

Na₂HPO₄ = 0.03436 mol * 142 g/mol = 4.879 g

To prepare this buffer, it's necessary to have in solution the species H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄⁻², so it can be prepared for mixing the combination of:

H₃PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ (the acid is triprotic so, it will form the H₂PO₄⁻ , and the salt Na₂HPO₄ will dissociate in Na⁺ and HPO₄²⁻);

H₃PO₄ and Na₃HPO₄ (same reason).

The other combinations will not form the species required.

is it a purebred? it looks more like a red nose, but it doesn't have the red could it be a staffordshire bull terrior? unsure if that's the right name for it sorry

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
