A buffer is prepared by mixing 25.0 mL of 0.500 M NH3(aq) with 25.0 mL of 0.200 M HCl (aq). What is the pH of the buffer? [ Kb (NH3) = 1.8 x 10-5 ]

Solutions

Expert Solution

HCl            + NH3 -----------------> NH4Cl

25 x0.2           25 x0.5                   0             

5                      12.5                       0   ------------initial

0                         7.5                     5 ------------ after reaction

NH3 and NH4Cl mixture remained . it can act as buffer

Kb of NH3 = 1.8 x10^-5

pKb= -logKb= 4.74

pOH = pKb + log [salt/base]

        = 4.74 + log[5/7.5]

       = 4.56

PH= 14-pOH= 14-4.56

pH = 9.43
