Answer:
what I got was 0.8435160945347224 moles
A and d is physical, b and c is chemical
First, we need to get the value of Ka:
when Ka = Kw / Kb
we have Kb = 1.8 x 10^-5
and Kw = 3.99 x 10^-16 so, by substitution:
Ka = (3.99 x 10^-16) / (1.8 x 10^-5) = 2.2 x 10^-11
by using the ICE table :
NH4+ + H2O →NH3 + H+
intial 0.013 0 0
change -X +X +X
Equ (0.013-X) X X
when Ka = [NH3][H+] / [NH4+]
by substitution:
2.2 x 10^-11 = X^2 / (0.013 - X) by solving this equation for X
∴X = 5.35 x 10^-7
∴[H+] = X = 5.35 x 10^-7
∴PH = - ㏒[H+]
= -㏒(5.35 x 10^-7)
= 6.27
