The pH of an aqueous solution of
7.96×10-2 M ammonium
nitrate, NH4NO3
(aq), is .
This solution is |
NH4NO3(aq) --------------> NH4^+ (aq) + NO3^- (aq)
7.96*10^-2M 7.96*10^-2 M(0.0796M)
NH4^+ (aq) + H2O -------------> NH3(aq) + H3O^+ (aq)
I 0.0796 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.0796-x +x +x
Kb = 1.8*10^-5
ka = Kw/Kb
= 1*10^-14/1.8*10^-5 = 5.6*10^-10
Ka = [NH3][H3O^+]/[NH4^+]
5.6*10^-10 = x*x/0.0796-x
5.6*10^-10*(0.0796-x) = x^2
x = 6.67*10^-6
[H3O+] = x = 6.67*10^-6M
PH = -log[H3O^+]
= -log6.67*10^-6
= 5.1758 >>>>answer
