How many milliliters of 0.250 M NH₄Cl would have to be added to 450 mL of 0.350 M KOH in order to produce a buffer solution with a pH of 9.10? (Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10–5)
A.1450 mL
B.1537 mL✓ Correct
C.1750 mL
D.1350 mL
Explanation
Addition of KOH to 4 NH Cl create a basic buffer Thus, for basic buffer, 4 b 3 4 3 2 NH pOH pK log NH NH Cl KOH NH H O KCl m mole of 3 NH =m mole of KOH added Thus, m mole of 3 NH =157.5 m mole Hence, m mole of + 4 NH present in the mixture is 4 b 3 4 3 4 3 NH pOH pK log NH NH 4.9 4.74 log NH NH log 0.16 NH >> >> We can substitute Molar concentration by m mole of + 4 NH and 3 NH . Thus, 4 m mole of NH log 0.16 157.5 0.16 4 m mole of NH 10 157.5 1.44 157.5 226.8 >> x x Thus, m mole of + 4 NH at equi
