Answer:
11.12 → pH
Explanation:
This is a titration of a weak base and a strong acid.
In the first step we did not add any acid, so our solution is totally ammonia.
Equation of neutralization is:
NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl
Equilibrium for ammonia is:
NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ Kb = 1.8×10⁻⁵
Initially we have 50 mL . 0.10M = 5 mmoles of ammonia
Our molar concentration is 0.1 M
X amount has reacted.
In the equilibrium we have (0.1 - x) moles of ammonia and we produced x amount of ammonium and hydroxides.
Expression for Kb is : x² / (0.1 - x) = 1.8×10⁻⁵
As Kb is so small, we can avoid the x to solve a quadratic equation.
1.8×10⁻⁵ = x² / 0.1
1.8×10⁻⁵ . 0.1 = x²
1.8×10⁻⁶ = x²
√1.8×10⁻⁶ = x → 1.34×10⁻³
That's the value for [OH⁻] so:
1×10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] . [H⁺]
1×10⁻¹⁴ / 1.34×10⁻³ = [H⁺] → 7.45×10⁻¹²
- log [H⁺] = pH
- log 7.45×10⁻¹² = 11.12 → pH
Positive
And Negative for oxygen.
