You combine the two following substances in 1.0 L of water.
1.0 mol NH3, 1.0 mol HCl
NH3: Kb = 1.8 * 10-5
Which of the following descibes the resulting solution?
A
An acidic solution that is not a buffer
B
An acidic buffer solution
C
A neutral solution that is not a buffer
D
A basic solution that is not a buffer
E
A neutral buffer solution
F
A basic buffer solution
The answer is A but i'm not sure why.
answer : An acidic solution that is not a buffer
NH3 + HCl --------------------> NH4Cl
1.0 1.0 0 --------------> initial
0 0 1.0 -----------------> after reaction.
so after reaction NH4Cl only remains . it is acidic salt becuase of it is the salt of weak base and strong acid.acidic character is dominent . but it is not buffer ..
