prepare a 100 ml of pH 10 Buffer solution using NH4Cl (s) and concentrated NH4OH , the NH4OH molartiy is 18.1 M ? NH4OH is equal to NH3 (aq)
PH = 10
POH = 14-PH
= 14-10 = 4
[NH3] = 18.1M
POH = Pkb + log[NH4Cl]/[NH3]
4 = 4.75 + log[NH4Cl]/18.1
4-4.75 = log[NH4Cl]/18.1
log[NH4Cl]/18.1 = -0.75
[NH4Cl]/18.1 = 10^-0.75
[NH4Cl]/18.1 = 0.178
[NH4Cl] = 0.178*18.1 = 3.2218M
no of moles of NH4Cl = molarity * volume in L
= 3.2218*0.1 = 0.32218moles
mass of NH4Cl = no of moles * gram molar mass
= 0.32218*53.5 = 17.24g
