<span>pKb = - log 1.8 x 10^-5 = 4.7
moles NH3 = 0.0750 L x 0.200 M=0.0150
moles HNO3 = 0.0270 L x 0.500 M= 0.0135
the net reaction is
NH3 + H+ = NH4+
moles NH3 in excess = 0.0150 - 0.0135 =0.0015
moles NH4+ formed = 0.0135
total volume = 75.0 + 27.0 = 102.0 mL = 0.102 L
[NH3]= 0.0015/ 0.102 L=0.0147 M
[NH4+] = 0.0135/ 0.102 L = 0.132 M

pOH = pKb + log [NH4+]/ [NH3]= 4.7 + log 0.132/ 0.0147=5.65
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.65 =8.35
