Chapter 16, Problem 16.31QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The $\text{pH}$ of the given solution of ammonia and hydrochloric acid is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The $\text{pH}$ of the given buffer solution is calculated by using the formula,

$\text{14}-\text{pH}=p{K}_{\text{b}}+\log \frac{\left[\text{Conjugate}\text{Acid}\right]}{\left[\text{Base}\right]}$

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ of the given solution of ammonia and hydrochloric acid.
