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!

What pressure (in atm) will 0.44 moles of co2 exert in a 2.6 l container at 25°c?
Lilit [14]
We can use the ideal gas law equation to find the pressure 
PV = nRTwhere 
P - pressure 
V - volume  - 2.6 x 10⁻³ m³ 
n - number of moles - 0.44 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 25 °C + 273 = 298 K
substituting the values into the equation,
P x 2.6 x 10⁻³ m³  = 0.44 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 298 K
P = 419 281.41 Pa
101 325 Pa is equivalent to 1 atm 
Therefore 419 281.41 Pa - 1/ 101 325 x 419 281.41 = 4.13 atm
Pressure is 4.13 atm
