A buffer is prepared by adding 108 mL of 0.48 M NH3 to 143 mL of 0.30 M NH4NO3. What is the pH of the final solution?
no of moles of NH3 = molarity * volume in L
= 0.48*0.108 = 0.05184 moles
no of moles of NH4Cl = molarity * volume in L
= 0.3*0.143 = 0.0429moles
Pkb of NH3 = 4.75
POH = Pkb + log[NH4NO3]/[NH3]
= 4.75 + log0.0429/0.05184
= 4.75-0.0822 = 4.6678
PH = 14-POH
= 14-4.6678 = 9.3322 >>>>answer
