A buffer solution contains 0.240 M ammonium chloride and 0.499 M ammonia. If 0.0565 moles of perchloric acid are added to 250 mL

of this buffer, what is the pH of the resulting solution? (Assume that the volume does not change upon adding perchloric acid.)

Answer:

The pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

Explanation:

The initial pH of the buffer solution can be found using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})  

pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.240}{0.499}) = 4.43        

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.43 = 9.57

Now, the perchloric acid added will react with ammonia:

n_{NH_{3}} = 0.499moles/L*0.250 L - 0.0565 moles = 0.0683 moles

Also, the moles of ammonium chloride will increase in the same quantity according to the following reaction:

NH₃ + H₃O⁺ ⇄ NH₄⁺ + H₂O    

n_{NH_{4}Cl} = 0.240 moles/L*0.250L + 0.0565 moles = 0.1165 moles

Finally, we can calculate the pH of the resulting solution:

pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})  

pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.1165 moles/0.250 L}{0.0683 moles/0.250 L}) = 4.98  

pH = 14 - 4.98 = 9.02

Therefore, the pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/Lis the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{N_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = 6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen

p_{N_2}= P\times \chi_{N_2} (Raoult's law)

=2.71 atm\times 0.78=2.1138 atm

C_{N_2}=6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 2.1138 atm

C_{N_2}=1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L

1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/Lis the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.
