Express the pH numerically to three decimal places.

2)

Calculate the ratio of CH3NH2 to CH3NH3Cl required to create a buffer with pH = 10.20.

Express your answer using two significant figures.

3) Ammonia, NH3, is a weak base with a Kb value of 1.8×105.

Part A

What is the pH of a 8.00×102M ammonia solution?

Express your answer numerically to two decimal places.

Part B

What is the percent ionization of ammonia at this concentration?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

4)

If Kb for NX3 is 8.5×106 , what is the the pKa for the following reaction?

HNX3+(aq)+H2O(l)NX3(aq)+H3O+(aq)

Express your answer numerically to two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

PART A

pH of NH3 solution

Kb = 1.8*10^-5

NH3 + H2O <-> NH4+ + OH-

Kb = [NH4+][[OH-]/[NH3]

1.8*10^-5 = x*x /(8*10^-2x)

x = 0.00119

x = [OH-] = 0.00119

pOH = -log(0.00119) = 2.9244

pH = 14-2.9244 = 11.0756

PART B)

% ionization = [OH-]/M* 100% = 0.00119/ (8*10^-2) *100 = 1.4875 %
