10.5 mL of 0.100M ammonium chloride aqueous solution is titrated with 0.100 M NaOH(aq).
What type of solution is present when VNaOH = 20.00 mL?
Select one:
a. strong acid
b. strong base
c. weak acid
d. weak base
e. buffered
answer : b. strong base
NH4Cl + NaOH ----------------------> NH4OH + NaCl
10.5 x0.1 20 x0.1 0 0
1.05 2 0 0 ----------------initial
0 0.95 0.95 0.95 -------------equlibrium
NaOH remained millimoles =0.95
[OH-] = 0.95/total volume
=0.95/(10.5+20)
= 0.031
pOH = -log[OH-]= -log(0.031)= 1.5
pH+ pOH= 14
pH = 14-pOH
pH= 12.5
so this pH indicate strong base
