Consider a buffer solution that is 0.50 M in NH3 and 0.20 M in NH4Cl. For ammonia, pKb=4.75. Calculate the pH of 1.0 L of the so
lution upon addition of 30.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl to the original buffer solution. Express your answer to two decimal places. ***will mark Brainliest for right answer ***
You have 0.50 mol of NH3 and 0.20 mol of NH4+ to start (NH4Cl dissolves completely), given the molarity and 1.0 L solution.
30.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl is 0.0300 mol of HCl. This will react with the NH3 to produced 0.030 mol of NH4+.
You now have 0.47 mol NH3 and 0.23 mol NH4+. Now use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to calculate your pH. The equation says to use concentration of acid and base, but you can just use the moles of them because it doesn’t make a difference.
The atom with the higher electronegativity wants to fill its valence electron shell (meaning it wants 8 electrons in this shell). The atom with lower electronegativity will want to empty <em>or donate </em>an electron so that it can have an empty valence shell.
Charles's law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law is: This relationship of direct proportion can be written as: V∝T
