Answer #1

pH of this solution is : 9.31

Explanation

Given : concentration of ammonia, [NH3] = 0.422 M

concentration of ammonium bromide, [NH4Br] = 0.373 M

NH3 Kb = 1.8 x 10-5

pKb = -log(Kb)

pKb = -log(1.8 x 10-5)

pKb = 4.74

According to Henderson - Hasselbalch equation,

pOH = pKb + log([conjugate acid] / [weak base])

pOH = pKb + log([NH4Br] / [NH3])

pOH = 4.74 + log(0.373 M / 0.422 M)

pOH = 4.74 + log(0.884)

pOH = 4.74 + (-0.05)

pOH = 4.69

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.69

pH = 9.31
