Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Buffer Preparation Using Ammonium Chloride and Ammonia**
**Question:**
How many grams of solid ammonium chloride should be added to 0.500 L of a 0.190 M ammonia solution to prepare a buffer with a pH of 9.850?
**Answer:**
Mass = 0.936 g
---
**Explanation:**
To prepare a buffer solution with a desired pH, solid ammonium chloride is added to an ammonia solution. The precise amount required to reach a pH of 9.850 with the given volume and molarity of the ammonia solution is found to be 0.936 grams.
Understanding buffer solutions:
- Buffers are solutions that resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.
- The ammonia (NH₃) acts as a weak base, while the ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) provides the conjugate acid (NH₄⁺).
- This balance between NH₃ and NH₄⁺ maintains the pH close to the desired value, making it effective for buffering applications.
