A buffer solution is prepared by mixing 50.0 mL of 0.300 M NH3(aq) with 50.0 mL of 0.300 M NH4Cl(aq). The pKb of NH3 is 4.74.
7.50 mL of 0.125 M NaOH is added to the 100.0 mL of the original
buffer solution prepared in Question 1 (no HCl added). Calculate
the new NH3 concentration for the buffer solution.
Calculate the new NH4Cl concentration for the buffer
solution.
Calculate the new pH of the solution.
Before addition of NaOH solution:
The number of moles of ammonia present are
The number of moles of ammonium chloride present are
The number of moles of NaOH added is
NaOH reacts with ammonium chloride to form ammonia.
The total number of moles of ammonia is
The concentration of ammonia is
The total number of moles of ammonium chloride is
The concentration of ammonium chloride is
For basic buffer solution,
Substitute values in the above expression.
Hence, the pH of the buffer solution is
