Calculate the percent ionization (the approximation percentage) for the reaction in equation #4 if the initial concentration of HI is 0.046 and the concentration at equilibrium is 2.0 times 10^-3 M. What is the p0H of a 0.40 M ammonia solution? K_b = 1.3 times 10^-5 NH_3 + H_20 NH_4^+ + OH^- What is the value of p0H in the above equation? Is the approximation valid for

7)

Ci = 0.046 M

Cf = 2.0*10^-3 M = 0.002 M

amount ionized,

x = Cf - Ci

= 0.046 - 0.002

=0.044 M

% ionisation = x*100/Ci

= 0.044*100/0.046

= 95.7 %

Answer: 95.7 %

NH3 + H2O -----> NH4+ + OH-

0.40 0 0

0.40-x. x x

Kb = [NH4+][OH-]/[NH3]

Kb = x*x/(c-x)

since kb is small, x will be small and it can be ignored as compared to c

So, above expression becomes

Kb = x*x/(c)

so, x = sqrt (Kb*c)

x = sqrt ((1.3E-5)*0.40) = 2.28E-3

So,

[OH-] = 2.28E-3 M

pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (2.2804E-3) = 2.64

Answer: 2.64
