The pOH of the ammonia (NH₃) solution is 2.74.

Calculation:

We will start by composing a balanced ionization of NH₃ in aqueous.

NH₃(aq) + H₂O (l) → NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

We'll also measure each compound's concentration at the end of the process.

NH₃ will partially dissociate. The quantity of NH3's dissociates can be disregarded. The concentration of NH₃ there at the final reaction is then nearly identical to that at the beginning reaction. NH₃ has a final concentration of 0.188 M.

NH₃≈ 0.188 M

As NH₄⁺ and OH ⁻ have the same ratio, then

[NH₄⁺]= [OH ⁻]

To determine the expression for the concentration of [OH] ions, we shall organize the accordance with the applicable (base constant) for the process into a written form.

Kb = ([NH₄][OH⁻]) / [NH₃]

Hence, the concentration of [NH₄⁺] can be written in the form of [OH⁻].

Kb = ([OH-] [OH⁻]) / [NH₃]

Kb = [OH⁻]² / [NH₃]

[OH⁻]² = Kb *[NH₃]

[OH⁻] = √(Kb *[NH₃])

Next, to find out the OH⁻ concentration we have to express the concentration as a form of the Kb equation :

[OH⁻] = √(1.76 * 10⁻⁵ * 0.188)

[OH⁻] = √3.31 * 10⁻⁶

[OH⁻] = √1.82 * 10⁻³

Hence,

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

pOH = - log1.82 * 10⁻³

pOH = 3 - log1.82

pOH = 2.74

So, the pOH of the NH₃ solution is 2.74.

Answer:
            In the three-dimensional structure of methane, CH₄, the hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom are aligned <span><u>at the corners of a Tetrahedron</u>.

Explanation:
                   In Methane (CH</span>₄) the central atom (carbon) is bonded to four hydrogen atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109°. Hence, the shape of CH₄ is tetrahedral.
