Answer #1

PH = 10

POH = 14-PH

          = 14-10

           = 4

PKb = 4.75

POH   = PKb + log[NH4Cl]/[NH3]

4       = 4.75 + log[NH4Cl]/[NH3]

log[NH4Cl]/[NH3] = 4-4.75  

log[NH4Cl]/[NH3]    = -0.75

[NH4Cl]/[NH3]       = 10^-0.75

[NH4Cl]/[NH3]         = 0.17783

[NH3]/[NH4Cl]     = 1/0.17783

[NH3]/[NH4Cl]     = 5.6233 /1

the molar ratio of ammonia to ammonium chloride = 5.6233 : 1
