Question

Can you help me figure out how to solve the following?
Calculate the pH of a solution that is .30 M in ammonia (NH3) and .20 m in ammonium chloride ( NH4Cl , Ka=5.62x10^-10)?
What is the pH of a .25m NH4Cl solution with Ka=5.68x10^-10? Can you help me figure out how to solve the following?

Explanation / Answer

pH=pKa + log [base]/[acid]

    =-log(5.62*10^-10) + log [0.30/0.20]

     =9.25 + 0.1760=9.426

for [NH4+]=0.25M

pH=pKa + log [base]/[acid]

    =-log (5.68*10^-10) + log [0.30/0.25]

    =9.246+0.07936

    =9.325
