Answer:

The correct answer is 574.59 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the number of moles of NH₃ will be,  

= 2.50 L × 0.800 mol/L

= 2 mol

The given pH of a buffer is 8.53

pH + pOH = 14.00

pOH = 14.00 - pH

pOH = 14.00 - 8.53

pOH = 5.47

The Kb of ammonia given is 1.8 * 10^-5. Now pKb = -logKb,  

= -log (1.8 ×10⁻⁵)

= 5.00 - log 1.8

= 5.00 - 0.26

= 4.74

Based on Henderson equation:  

pOH = pKb + log ([salt]/[base])

pOH = pKb + [NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]

5.47 = 4.74 + log ([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃])

log([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]) = 5.47-4.74 = 0.73

[NH₄⁺]/[NH₃] = 10^0.73= 5.37

[NH₄⁺ = 5.37 × 2 mol = 10.74 mol

Now the mass of dry ammonium chloride required is,  

mass of NH₄Cl = 10.74 mol × 53.5 g/mol

= 574.59 grams.

The nucleus of the atom contains the greatest concentration of mass of an atom. which arrow is pointing at the nucleus of nitrog
Mashutka [201]
The nucleus of an atom of any element is located at the very center. It contains subatomic particles, proton and neutron. That's why it contains the greater mass, because only the electrons orbit the nucleus. So, you would expect the arrow to point somewhere in the center. A picture of nitrogen's nucleus is shown in the attached picture.
