A 75.0-ml volume of 0.200 m nh3 (kb=1.8×10−5) is titrated with 0.500 m hno3. calculate the ph after the addition of 19.0 ml of hno3. express your answer numerically.

Respuesta :

From the equation kb = 1.8 x 10^-5

Therefore;

pKb = - log 1.8 x 10^-5 = 4.7

Moles NH3 in 75 ml = (75/1000) L x 0.200 M=0.0150

Moles HNO3 in 19 ml = (19/1000) L x 0.500 M= 0.0095

The net reaction is

NH3 + H+ = NH4+

Moles NH3 in excess = 0.0150 - 0.0095 =0.0055

Moles NH4+ formed = 0.0095

Total volume = 75.0 + 19.0 = 94.0 mL = 0.094 L

[NH3]= 0.0055/ 0.094 L=0.0585 M

[NH4+] = 0.0095/ 0.094 L = 0.1011M

 

pOH = pKb + log [NH4+]/ [NH3]

= 4.7 + log 0.1011/ 0.0585

= 4.938

pH = 14 - pOH

= 14 – 4.94

 =9.06

pH after the addition of 19.0 ml of HNO₃ : 9.018

Further explanation

The pH value of a reaction between strong acid HNO₃ and weak base NH₃ can be estimated from the rest of the reaction product

1. If the remainder of the reaction results obtained the remaining strong acid HNO₃, the pH is sought from the concentration of [H⁺] using the formula

[H⁺] = a. M

a = valence of acid / amount of H⁺ released

M = acid concentration

2. When strong acids and weak bases react, they form salts that are acidic, calculating the pH using the pH hydrolysis formula

[tex]\displaystyle [H +]=\sqrt{\frac{Kw}{Kb}.M }[/tex]

where

M = concentration of salt anion

3. If the remainder of the reaction results are a weak base remaining and the salt, the solution will form a base buffer solution and search for pH using the formula base buffer pH

[tex]\displaystyle [OH-]=Kb\times\frac{weak\:base\:mole}{salt\:mole\times valence}[/tex]

We count the moles of each reactant:

NH₃ mole = 75 ml x 0.2 M = 15 mlmol

mole HNO₃ = 19 ml x 0.5 M = 9.5 mlmol

NH₃ + HNO₃ ---> NH₄NO₃

15        9.5    

9.5      9.5            9.5

5.5       0              9.5

so there are remaining weak bases NH₃ = 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 mmol

Then a buffer solution is formed

[OH⁻] = Kb x [weak base mole] / [salt mole x valence]

[tex]\displaystyle [OH-]=1.8.10^{-5}\times\frac{5.5}{9.5\times 1}\\\\pOH=-log\:1.042.10^{-5}\\\\pOH=4.982\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=9.018[/tex]
