The pH of the solution after the addition of 100. 0 ml of HNO3. The kb of NH3 is 1. 8 × 10-5. So, pH is 10.9 basic .
This neutralization occurs as the acid is added to the base:
NH3(aq)+ HNO3(aq)= NH4NO3(aq)+ H2O(l)
The initial moles of NH3present is given by,
nNH3= c×v= 0.10× 100/1000= 0.01m
The number of moles of
HNO3 added is given by:
nHNO3= c×v= 0.10× 100/1000= 0.001
It is clear from the equation that the acid and base react in a 1:1 molar ratio. So, the no. moles of NH3remaining will be 0.01 - 0.001= 0.009
The total volume is now
100.0+100.0= 200.0x cm3
The concentration of NH3 is given by,
[NH3]= c/v= 0.001/200/1000= 0.05x mol/l .
pOH= 12 (pKb− logb)
where b is the base's concentration.
Given that there is little dissociation, we can roughly compare this to the starting concentration.
pKb= −logKb= −log(1.8×10−5)= 4.744
pOH= 3.056
At 25∘xC, we know that, pH+ pOH=14
pH= 14− 3.056= 10.9
