A buffer solution contains 0.392 M ammonium chloride and 0.498 M ammonia. If 0.0206 moles of perchloric acid are added to 150 mL of this buffer, what is the pH of the resulting solution ? (Assume that the volume does not change upon adding perchloric acid)
First calculate moles of ammonia & ammonium chloride.
We have relation , No. of moles = Molarity volume of solution in L
No. of moles of NH 3 = 0.498 mol / L 0.150 L = 0.0747 mol
No. of moles of NH 4 Cl = 0.392 mol / L 0.150 L = 0.0588 mol
Consider reaction of perchloric acid with buffer solution.
HClO 4 reacts with ammonia and forms ammonium ions. Hence, concentration of ammonia decreases and that of ammonium ion increases.
NH 3 + HClO 4 NH4+ + ClO 4-
Let's use ICE table.
Concentration ( moles ) | NH 3 | HClO 4 | NH4+ |
I | 0.0747 | 0.0206 | 0.0588 |
C | - 0.0206 | - 0.0206 | + 0.0206 |
E | 0.0541 | 0.0000 | 0.0794 |
pH of basic buffer solution is calculated by using Henderson's equation.
pH = pKa of conjugate acid +log [ Base ] / [ Conjugate acid ]
pH = pKa of NH4+ + log [NH 3] / [ NH4+ ]
pH = 9.245 + log ( 0.0541 mol / 0.150 L ) / ( 0.0794 mol / 0.150 L )
pH = 9.245 - 0.166
pH = 9.08
ANSWER : pH of ammonia buffer solution after addition of perchloric acid is 9.08
