Need help with homework
« on: March 28, 2019, 12:54:33 PM »
Im in the chapter about acid, bases and equilibrium.
HCl + NH3
Both are solutions in water.
[HCl] = 0,122 mol/L
[NH3] = (What I need to find out)
To reach the equilibrium, we use 0,023 L of HCl and 0,02 L of NH3.
What is the concentration of NH3.

If I'm doing it correctly, it should be:
0,122 mol/L * 0,023L = 0,002806 moles.
NH3 should have the same amount of moles at the equilibrium. [NH3] = 0,002806moles ÷ 0.02L = 0,1403 moles/L.
Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? And what is the pH at the equilibrium?

I didn't check your math, but your process looks fine to me.

For the pH part, the questions you need to think about are what forms when you react HCl with NH3, and what can you say about the product that forms in terms of its acidity or basicity?
