Chemistry Question on Buffer Solutions
A litre of buffer solution contains 01 mole of each of NH3 and NH4CL On the addition of 002 mole of HCl by dissolving gaseous HCl, the pH of the solution is found to be ____ ×10−3 (Nearest integer) [Given : pK5(NH3)=4745 log2=0301 log3=0477 T=298K]
Answer
The correct answer is 9079.
In resultant solution
nNH3=0.1−0.02=0.08
nNH4Cl=nNH4+=0.1+0.02=0.12
pOH=pKb+log[NH3][NH4+]
=4.745+log0.080.12
=4.745+log23
=4.745+0.477−0.301
pOH=4.921
pH=14−pH
=9.079
