What is the ph of a solution containing 0.12mol/l of nh4cl and 0.03 mol/l of naoh (pka is 9.25)?

pH = 8.77

Explanation:

The reaction between Ammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide yield the following products depicted in the ICE table below:

Initial    0.12 M        0.03 M            -     -     -

Change -0.03 M    -0.03 M          +0.03 M

Eq         (0.12-0.03)   (0.03-0.03)  +0.03 M  

Therefore,

This is a buffer with pKa = 9.25

Based on the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
