Answer:

245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical</em>

<em />

First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.

  • <em>pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺</em>

pKb = - log Kb

pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = <em>4.74</em>

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa = 14 - 4.74

pKa = 9.26

  • <em>Moles NH₃</em>

<em>2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃</em>

  • <em>H-H equation:</em>

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]

8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

-1.06 =  log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

0.0087 =  [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087

[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):

4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

What is the density of a sample of a substance with a volume of 120ml<br> and a mass of 90g?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.75 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass = 90 g

volume = 120 mL

We have

density =  \frac{90}{120}  =  \frac{9}{12}  =  \frac{3}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.75 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
