Ammonia exists in two forms, ammonium ion (NH4+) and ammonia gas (NH3). In solution, they are related by the reaction Nh4=H+NH3 pK=9.24 If the pH is 8.5 and the total ammonia concentration (ct) is 40 mg/L as N, calculate the concentration of dissolved ammonia gas (NH3) concentration id mg/L (Answer is 7.33 mg/L )
Homework Answers
pH = pka + log(dissolved(NH3)/ammonia)
concentration of dissolved NH3 = X/17 mM
concentration of un dissolved NH3 = 40/17 mM
8.5 = 9.24+log((x/17)/((40/17)))
x = concentration in mg/L = 7.3 mg/L

Ammonia (NH3) is somewhat volatile. It is also the conjugate base of the ammonium ion (NH4+). In order to keep the ammonia from volatilizing from a wastewater treatment reactor, it is useful to shift this acid-base equilibrium reaction toward NH4+. The pKa of the ammonium ion is 9.24. In what pH range should the reactor operate?

Un-ionized ammonia (NH3) is toxic to fish at low concentrations. If the maximum allowable concentration of NH3 in a river (CNH3) is 0.20 mg/L as N, what is the maximum concentration of ammonium ion (NH4+) allowed (CNH4+), in units of mg/L as N, when the river water pH is 9? The dissociation of ammonium ion in water has an equilibrium constant of pKa = 9.25 and is described by the reaction: NH4+ = NH3 + H+. Show units throughout the...

Ammonia (NH3) is toxic to fish at a concentration of 0.01 mg/L NH3-N, but ammonium (NH:) has negligible toxicity. What is the maximum concentration (in mg/L) of total ammonia nitrogen (the sum of ammonia and ammonium) that can be in solution without causing toxicity at (a) pH 8 and at (b) pH 10? Note: "NH3-N" and "ammonia nitrogen" means that only the mass of the nitrogen atom is counted. That is, this is treating both ammonia and ammonium as having...

Nitrogen in a wastewater treatment plant is in the form of ammonia and ammonium ion and has a total ammonia concentration of 7.1 x 10^-4 M at pH = 7. Total ammonia concentration = [NH3] + [NH4^+]. NH3 partial pressure = 5 x 10^-10 atm. KH at 25-degree Celcius is 57 mol/(L x atm). Ka at 25-degree Celcius = 10^-9.26. A. Calculate NH3 and [NH4+] in M at the present condition where pH = 7 at 25 degrees Celcius. B....

Dissolved ammonia is a common contaminant in drinking water, streams, and rivers. The dissolved form can cause an unpleasant taste in the water and is toxic to many aquatic life forms. Gaseous ammonia (NH3) has an unpleasant odor that has been described as similar to baby diapers or window cleaner. b. Fish are very sensitive to un-ionized ammonia (NH3) and concentrations as low as I .0 mg/L can be toxic. If you took a sample of water downstream of a...
