Date Day & Time Name 1. The pH of a 0.25 M NH, solution was measured to be 11.33. Calculate Ken for NH answer
Solution
1.
pH = 11.33
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 11.33 = 2.67
pOH = -log[OH-] = 2.67
[OH-] = 2.14 x 10^-3 M
Keq equation,
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) <==> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Keq = [NH4+][OH-]/[NH3]
[NH4+] = [OH-]
[NH3] = 0.250 - [OH-] = 0.250 - 2.14 x 10^-3 = 0.24786 M
Keq = (2.14 x 10^-3)^2/(0.24786) = 1.85 x 10^-5
