Answer:

The initial concentration of ammonia is 0.14 M and the pH of the solution at equivalence point is 5.20

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of HCl solution = 0.164 M

Volume of solution = 23.8 mL = 0.0238 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.164M=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}}{0.0238L}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=(0.146mol/L\times 0.0238L)=0.0035mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonia and HCl follows:

$NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4^++Cl^-$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of ammonia

So, 0.0035 moles of HCl will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0035=0.0035mol$ of ammonia

Calculating the initial concentration of ammonia by using equation 1:

Moles of ammonia = 0.0035 moles

Volume of solution = 25 mL = 0.025 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Initial concentration of ammonia}=\frac{0.0035mol}{0.025L}=0.14M$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ammonia produces 1 mole of ammonium ion

So, 0.0035 moles of ammonia will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0035=0.0035mol$ of ammonium ion

Calculating the concentration of ammonium ion by using equation 1:

Moles of ammonium ion = 0.0035 moles

Volume of solution = [23.8 + 25] mL = 48.8 mL = 0.0488 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Molarity of ammonium ion}=\frac{0.0035mol}{0.0488L}=0.072M$

To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:

$K_w=K_b\times K_a$

where,

$K_w$ = Ionic product of water = $10^{-14}$

$K_a$ = Acid dissociation constant

$K_b$ = Base dissociation constant = $1.8\times 10^{-5}$

$10^{-14}=1.8\times 10^{-5}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.8\times 10^{-5}}=5.55\times 10^{-10}$

The chemical equation for the dissociation of ammonium ion follows:

$NH_4^+\rightarrow NH_3+H^+$

The expression of $K_a$ for above equation follows:

$K_a=\frac{[NH_3][H^+]}{[NH_4^+]}$

We know that:

$[NH_3]=[H^+]=x$

$[NH_4^+]=0.072M$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$5.55\times 10^{-10}=\frac{x\times x}{0.072}\\\\x=6.32\times 10^{-6}M$

To calculate the pH concentration, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

We are given:

$[H^+]=6.32\times 10^{--6}M$

$pH=-\log (6.32\times 10^{-6})\\\\pH=5.20$

Hence, the initial concentration of ammonia is 0.14 M and the pH of the solution at equivalence point is 5.20

Ann [662]

Answer:

NiCO3 (s) + 2H+ (aq) → H2O (l) + CO2 (g) + Ni2+ (aq)

Explanation:

To write the complete ionic equation:

1. Start with a balanced molecular equation.

2. Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions

3. indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion

4. indicate the correct number of each ion

5. write (aq) after each ion

6. Bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged.

Which of these are ionic compounds? Check all that apply.

SIZIF [17.4K]

I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are the first, third and the last option. Ionic compounds are compounds that dissociates into ions when in aqueous solution. From the list, NH4Cl, KF and MgO are the ionic compounds. Hope this answers the question.

Which of these describes an endothermic process?

Phoenix [80]

The third one down: "When barium hydroxide is mixed with ammonium chloride, ice crystals form on the outside of the container."

This is because an endothermic reaction [process] takes in more energy than it releases. Therefore because a decrease in energy leads to a decrease in temperature, the ice crystals forming show that it must be a endothermic reaction [process].

Hope this helps! :)
