Homework Help: Chemistry

How do I calculate the amount of grams of Na2HPO4 and NaH2PO4 to prepare 200 mL of a buffer with an 8.25 pH so the sum of the concentrations of HPO4 and H2PO4 ions is 0.5 M? Does this involve writing a Ka expression and equilibrium? I am confused and Thanks for your help!

See your other post. The HH equation is the secret weapon.
