Question

A 100. mL buffer solution is 0.0200 M in NH3 and 0.0350 M in NH4Cl. For NH3, Kb = 1.76 x 10^-5. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: a. Compute the pH of the buffer solution. b. What is the new pH after 5.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl is added?

Step 1

moles of NH3 = 0.0200 M x 0.100 L = 0.00200 mol moles of NHACI = 0.0350 M x 0.100 L = 0.00350 mol Show more…
