Presented with the following equations, what would the pH of a drop of water be, while in equilibrium with NH3(g) at a concentration of 150ppb?
NH3(g)+H2O(l)⟷NH3(aq)+H2O KH=1.76⋅10−2M/atm
NH4+(aq)⟷NH3(aq)+H+ Ka=5.62⋅10−10
So my issue is that I don't know how to express the concentration of [NH4+].
Calculating the concentration of NH3(aq) is simple: KH⋅PNH3, while PNH3=C⋅Pair=150⋅10−9⋅1atm, yields NH3(aq)=2.64⋅10−9M.
If we are to tally up all contributions of H+ then we get: [H+]=Kw/[H+] (from water dissociation) + Ka[NH4+]/[H+].
Then [H+]=(Kw+Ka[NH4+])0.5 and we'd get the pH.
I'm stuck unsure how to express [NH4+].
Thanks!
