Question
Calculate the $\mathrm{pH}$ of an aqueous solution of $1.0 \mathrm{M}$ ammonium formate assuming complete dissociation. (p $K_{a}$ of formic acid $=3.8$ and $\mathrm{p} K_{b}$ of ammonia $=4.8$.)
Step 1
When it dissociates in water, it forms ammonium ions and formate ions. Show more…

What will be the $\mathrm{pH}$ of an aqueous solution of $1.0 \mathrm{M}$ ammonium formate? Given : $\mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{a}}=3.8$ and $\mathrm{p} K_{b}=4.8$ (a) $7.5$ (b) $3.4$ (c) $6.5$ (d) $10.2$
Calculate the pH of: a) ammonia, 0.1 M, in water b) ammonium chloride, 0.1 M, in water c) a buffer solution containing ammonia (0.1 M) and ammonium chloride (0.01 M) For NH4+, pKa = 9.25
Calculate the $\mathrm{pH}$ of a $0.42 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}$ solution. $\left(K_{\mathrm{b}} \text { for ammonia }=\right.$ $\left.1.8 \times 10^{-5} .\right)$
