True The positive electric charge of a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge of an electron; therefore, the net electric charge of an ion is equal to its number of protons minus its number of electrons. Ions are highly reactive species.
Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another. This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms and rainbows. Even our eyes depend upon this bending of light. Hope this helps!
The mass of ammonium chloride that must be added is : ( A ) 4.7 g
<u>Given data :</u>
Volume of water ( V ) = 250 mL = 0.25 L
pH of solution = 4.85
Kb = 1.8 * 10⁻⁵
Kw = 10⁻¹⁴
Given that the dissolution of NH₄Cl gives NH₄⁺⁺ and Cl⁻ ions the equation is written as :
NH₄CI + H₂O ⇄ NH₃ + H₃O⁺
where conc of H₃O⁺
[ H₃O⁺ ] =
and Ka = Kw / Kb
∴ Ka = 5.56 * 10⁻¹⁰
Next step : Determine the concentration of H₃O⁺ in the solution
pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ] = 4.85
∴ [ H₃O⁺ ] in the solution = 1.14125 * 10⁻⁵
Next step : Determine the concentration of NH₄CI in the solution
C = [ H₃O⁺ ]² / Ka
= ( 1.14125 * 10⁻⁵ )² / 5.56 * 10⁻¹⁰
= 0.359 mol / L
Determine the number of moles of NH₄CI in the solution
n = C . V
= 0.359 mol / L * 0.25 L = 0.08979 mole
Final step : determine the mass of ammonium chloride that must be added to 250 mL
mass = n * molar mass
= 0.08979 * 53.5 g/mol
= 4.80 g ≈ 4.7 grams
Therefore we can conclude that the mass of ammonium chloride that must be added is 4.7 g
