What is the ph of a 0.0288 m solution of ammonia (kb 1.8 x 10-5)?

10.86

Explanation:

Given that:

Concentration = 0.0288 M

Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of ammonia as:

                                      NH₃    +   H₂O    ⇄     NH₄⁺ +    OH⁻

At t=0                          0.0288                             -              -

At t =equilibrium        (0.0288-x)                         x           x            

The expression for dissociation constant of ammonia is:

x is very small, so (0.0288 - x) ≅ 0.0288

Solving for x, we get:

x = 7.2×10⁻⁴  M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(7.2×10⁻⁴) = 3.14

Also,

pH + pOH = 14

So, pH = 10.86

they vary. it used to be meat, grain, bread, candy, beverages, donuts, and fruits/vegetables. now they added exercise in.
