You Have 500

Multiple Choice

You have 500.0 mL of a buffer solution containing 0.30 M ammonia (NH₃) and 0.20 M ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) . What will the pH of this solution be after the addition of 20.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH solution? [K_b = 1.8 × 10^-5]Hint: Adding NaOH will change the amounts of both the acid and the base. Calculate the pH based on the new amounts.
