Calculate the pH of a 1 L solution made by mixing 0.25mol of NH3 and 0.35mol NH4Cl. (Kb = 1.8x10^- 5). What is the new pH if 0.15 mol HCl is added to the solution?

Homework Answers

Answer #1
  • Calculate the pH of a 1 L solution made by mixing 0.25mol of NH3 and 0.35mol NH4Cl

Vsol=1 L

nNH3=0.25mol ; nNH4+=0.35mol

   Kw=1x10-14 (water dissociation constant) --------->

Henderson Hasselbach equation pH = pKa + log(base/acid)

pH = pKa + log([NH3 ][NH4+]) ; where pKa= -LogKa

[NH3 ]= nNH3/Vsol =0.25mol/ 1L= 0.25 mol/L ;   [NH4+]= nNH4+/Vsol=0.35mol/1L= 0.35 mol/L

pH= -log(5.56x10-10) + Log(0.25/0.35)

pH= 9.11

  • What is the new pH if 0.15 mol HCl is added to the solution?

NH4+ <-------------->H+ + NH3

Initial 0.35mol 0 0.25mol

Adding Acid 0.15mol -0.15mol

After Acid 0.50mol 0.1mol

pH = pKa + log([NH3 ][NH4+])

pH= -Log(5.56x10-10) + Log(0.1/0.50)

pH= 8.56
