Question

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW TO GET THE ANSWER! THANK YOU

1. Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.20M NH3(aq) and 0.35 M NH4Cl(aq). (Kb(NH3) = 1.8 x 10-5)

2. . For PbCl2 (Ksp = 2.4 × 10–4), will a precipitate of PbCl2 form when 0.10 L of 6.0 × 10–1 M Pb(NO3)2 is added to 400 mL of 9.0 × 10–1 M NaCl?

A) Yes, because Q > Ksp. .

B) No, because Q < Ksp.

C) No, because Q = Ksp

D) Yes, because Q < Ksp

3. Assuming equal concentrations of conjugate base and acid, which one of the following mixtures is suitable for making a buffer solution with an optimum pH of 4.6–4.8?

A) CH3COO2Na / CH3COOH (Ka = 1.8 × 10–5)

B) NH3 / NH4Cl (Ka = 5.6 × 10–10)

C) NaOCl / HOCl (Ka = 3.2 × 10–8)

D) NaNO2 / HNO2 (Ka = 4.5 × 10–4) E) NaCl / HCl

4. Which of these species will act as a Lewis acid?

A) NH3

B) NH4 +

C) H2O

D) BF3

E) F–

6.When 4.0 10–2 mole of a weak monoprotic acid is dissolved in 350. mL of water, the pH is 3.05. What is the Ka of the acid?

Explanation / Answer

1)

NH3 and NH4Cl forms a basic buffer

NH3 is base and NH4+ is conjugate acid in this buffer

Kb = 1.8*10^-5

pKb = - log (Kb)

= - log(1.8*10^-5)

= 4.74

use:

pOH = pKb + log {[conjugate acid]/[base]}

= 4.74+ log {0.35/0.2}

= 4.99

use:

pH = 14 - pOH

= 14 - 4.99

= 9.01

Answer: 9.01
