Answer:

b. 3.35

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of a solution containing both acid and its salt (produced as a result of titration) we need to use Henderson’s equation i.e.

pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid])     (Eq. 01)

Where  

pKa = -log(Ka)        (Eq. 02)

[salt] = Molar concentration of salt produced as a result of titration

[acid] = Molar concentration of acid left in the solution after titration

Let’s now calculate the molar concentration of HNO2 and KOH considering following chemical reaction:

HNO2 + KOH ⇆ H2O + KNO2    (Eq. 03)

This shows that 01 mole of HNO2 and 01 mole of KOH are required to produce 01 mole of KNO2 (salt). And if any one of them (HNO2 and KOH) is present in lower amount then that will be considered the limiting reactant and amount of salt produced will be in accordance to that reactant.

Moles of HNO2 in 50 mL of 0.01 M HNO2 solution = 50/1000x0.01 = 0.005 Moles

Moles of KOH in 25 mL of 0.01 M KOH solution = 25/1000x0.01 = 0.0025 Moles

As it can be seen that we have 0.0025 Moles of KOH therefore considering Eq. 03 we can see that 0.0025 Moles of KOH will react with only 0.0025 Moles of HNO2 and will produce 0.0025 Moles of KNO2.

Therefore

Amount of salt produced i.e [salt] = 0.0025 moles       (Eq. 04)

Amount of acid left in the solution [acid] = 0.005 - 0.0025 = 0.0025 moles (Eq.05)

Putting the values in (Eq. 01) from (Eq.02), (Eq. 04) and (Eq. 05) we will get the following expression:

pH= -log(4.5x10 -4) + log (0.0025/0.0025)

Solving above we get  

pH = 3.35

Calculate the concentration in mol L^-1 of ammonium ions in a solution prepared by mixing 360 mL of 0.250 mol L^-1 ammonium sulf
Mnenie [13.5K]

In order to determine the concentration of ammonium ions in the solution prepared by mixing solutions of ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, and ammonium nitrate, first calculate the amount of ammonium ions for each solution.<span>

<span>For ammonium sulfate sol'n: 0.360 L x 0.250 mol(NH4)2SO4/ L x 2 mol NH4+ /1 mol(NH4)2SO4 = 0.18 mol NH4+
<span>For ammonium nitrate sol'n: 0.675 x 1.2 mol NH4NO3/L x 1 mol NH4+ /1 molNH4NO3 = 0.81 mol NH4+

Thus, the amount of NH4+ ions is (0.18 + 0.81) mol or 0.99 mol NH4+. To get the concentration, multiply this to the volume of solution which is assumed to be additive, such that:</span></span></span>

M NH4+ in sol’n = 0.99 mol NH4+/1.035 L = 0.9565 mol NH4+/ L sol’n
