Hi!!
I don't know how to calculate pH of a solution :
10
-2M AgNO
310
-1M NH
3...because i have to consider also this reaction:
Ag
+ + NH3 >>> Ag(NH
3)
+ with β
1 = K
1Usually in order to calculate pH (without AgNO
3) i have to write the charge (or protonic) balance...
In the balance charge i substitute the equlibrium concentration [ i ] with α
i*C
NH3 for all the species involved in C.B (where C
NH3 is the initial concentration of ammonia)
For example for a solution of (ONLY) NH3 (considered the correspondng acid reaction = K
a ) i have:
α
NH4+≡α
0= [H
+]/ k
a +[H
+]
α
NH3 ≡ α
1 = k
a/ k
a+[H
+]
1)Now my QUESTION is:
IF i have also AgNO3 ( = NH3 can complex Ag
+) the α
i in the charge balance are the same or they are changed??
2) And now in the charge balance C
NH3 is always equal to C
NH3= [NH
4+ [NH
3] or is C
NH3= [NH
4+ [NH
3] + [AgNH3
+]
Please help me
