Solutions

Expert Solution

A)

We want to get acid or base concentration so we can figure out the pH. Since NH4NO3 is a strong electrolyte it will break down to both components. As you should know, NH4+ will release a H+.

Kb of NH3 = 1.8 x 10-5

NH4NO3 NH4+ + NO3-

             NH4+ NH3 + H+
I            0.36........0.......0
C            -x.......... x.......x
E         0.36-x ......x.......x

Ka = Kw/Kb = (10-14)/(1.8 x 10-5) = 5.56 x 10-10

Ka = [NH3][H+]/[NH4+] = x2/(0.36-x) = 5.56 x 10-10

x = 1.415 10-5 M = [H+]

pH = -log[H+] = -log(1.415 10-5) = 4.85

C)

Kb of C6H5NH2 = 3.8 x 10-10

          C6H5NH2 C6H5NH- + H+
I          0.080.................0.........0
C            -x....................x.........x
E       0.080-x ...............x.........x

Ka = Kw/Kb = (10-14)/(3.8 x 10-10) = 2.63 x 10-5

Ka = [NH3][H+]/[NH4+] = x2/(0.080-x) = 2.63 x 10-5

x = 1.45 10-3 M = [H+]

pH = -log[H+] = -log(1.45 10-3) = 2.84

D)

KNO2 is a strong salt : KNO2 K+ + NO2-

NO2- + H2O HNO2 + OH-

Ka of HNO2 = 4.3 10-4
Kb = Kw/Ka = (10-14)/(4.3 x 10-4) = 2.32 10-11

2.32 10-11 = x2/ 0.45-x
x = [OH-]= 3.23 10-6 M
pOH = 5.49
pH = 14 - 5.49 = 8.51
