What is the pH of the solution that results from adding 26.2 mL
of 0.14 M HCl to 25.9 mL of 0.41 MNH3?
(Ka for ammonium ion is 5.6*10^-10).
pH-------------------?
moles of HCl ---> (0.14 mol/L) (0.0262 L) = 0.003668
mol
moles NH3 ---> (0.41 mol/L) (0.0259 L) = 0.010619 mol
The HCl and NH3 react in a 1:1 molar ratio and all the HCl is used up.
moles NH3 remaining ---> 0.010619 mol - 0.003668 mol =
0.006951 mol
moles NH4^+ produced ---> 0.003668 mol
the henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log (base/acid)
pH = -log(5.6*10^-10) + log (0.006951 / 0.003668)
pH = 9.252 + 0.277 = 9.53
The pH of the resulting solution is 9.53
