Answer #1

Given:

M(HNO3) = 0.5 M

V(HNO3) = 13 mL

M(NH3) = 0.2 M

V(NH3) = 75 mL

mol(HNO3) = M(HNO3) * V(HNO3)

mol(HNO3) = 0.5 M * 13 mL = 6.5 mmol

mol(NH3) = M(NH3) * V(NH3)

mol(NH3) = 0.2 M * 75 mL = 15 mmol

We have:

mol(HNO3) = 6.5 mmol

mol(NH3) = 15 mmol

6.5 mmol of both will react

excess NH3 remaining = 8.5 mmol

Volume of Solution = 13 + 75 = 88 mL

[NH3] = 8.5 mmol/88 mL = 0.0966 M

[NH4+] = 6.5 mmol/88 mL = 0.0739 M

They form basic buffer

base is NH3

conjugate acid is NH4+

Kb = 1.8*10^-5

pKb = - log (Kb)

= - log(1.8*10^-5)

= 4.745

use:

pOH = pKb + log {[conjugate acid]/[base]}

= 4.745+ log {7.386*10^-2/9.659*10^-2}

= 4.628

use:

PH = 14 - pOH

= 14 - 4.6282

= 9.3718

Answer: 9.37
