Question

Consider a solution that contains just 0.535 grams of ammonium chloride in 200. mL of water  (recall that ammonium is the conjugate acid to the base ammonia, NH3):

e.  Write the equilibrium reaction that dictates the pH of the solution.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The compound given is ammonium chloride i.e NH4Cl.

Since the compound is an ionic compound.

Hence it will dissociate completely into ions as per the below reaction,

=> NH4Cl (aq) ---------> NH4+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
