Expert Solution
Step 1

The pH of a 0.3 M solution of NH4Br is to be calculated if Ka of NH4+ = 5.6×10-10

Step 2

In aqueous solution of NH4Br, it exists as NH4+ and Br- .

NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3 (a weak base), thus it will partially ionize in solution to give H3O+ and NH3.

NH,Br(aq) → NH (aq)+Br (aq)
NH; (aq) + H,0() ENH; (aq)+Н,О "aq)
Step 3

Let x M be the amount of NH4+ consumed.

0.3 M of NH4Br gives 0.3 M NH4+ and 0.3 M Br-.

Then the ICE table is:
