A litre of buffer solution contains 0.10 . 1 mole of each of NH3{NH}_{3} and NH4Cl{NH}_{4}Cl. On the addition of 0.020 . 02 mole of HClHCl by dissolving gaseous HClHCl, the pHpH of the solution is found to be _____ \times {10}^{- 3} (Nearest integer)

Given: pKb(NH3)=4.745{pK}_{b}\left({NH}_{3}\right) = 4 . 745

log⁡2=0.301\log 2 = 0 . 301

log⁡3=0.477\log 3 = 0 . 477

T=298K]T = 298K ]

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

In resultant solution after addition of HClHCl to the basic buffer:

nNH3=0.1−0.02=0.08{n}_{{NH}_{3}} = 0 . 1 - 0 . 02 = 0 . 08

nNH4Cl=nNH4+=0.1+0.02=0.12{n}_{{NH}_{4}Cl} = n{NH}_{4}^{+} = 0 . 1 + 0 . 02 = 0 . 12

Using Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pOH=pKb+log[NH4+][NH3]pOH = {pK}_{b} + log\dfrac{\left[{NH}_{4}^{+}\right]}{\left[{NH}_{3}\right]}

=4.745+log0.120.08= 4 . 745 + log\dfrac{0 . 12}{0 . 08}

=4.745+log32= 4 . 745 + log\dfrac{3}{2}

=4.745+0.477−0.301= 4 . 745 + 0 . 477 - 0 . 301

pOH=4.921pOH = 4 . 921
We know,

pH=14−pHpH = 14 - pH

=9.079= 9 . 079
