Answer : The
pH of a solution is, 8.56
Explanation : Given,
Concentration of ammonia (base) = 0.10 M
Concentration of ammonium nitrate (salt) = 0.55 M
First we have to calculate the value of .
The expression used for the calculation of is,
Now put the value of in this expression, we get:
Now we have to calculate the pOH of buffer.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
The pOH of buffer is 5.44
Now we have to calculate the pH of a solution.
Thus, the pH of a solution is, 8.56
