Explanation / Answer

(4)

(A ) According to Bronstead Lowry theory NH3 is considered as only proton acceptor and thus a base

(5)

(E) pOH = 14 - pH = 14 + Log[H+] = 14 + Log (0.135) = 13.13

Therefore, [OH-] = 10 - pOH = 10 -13.13 = 7.41 x 10 -14 M

(6)

(B) According Ostwald's theory of weak electrolytes,

[H3O+] = ( Ka x C )1/2= (1.4 x 10 -3 x 0.0255) 1/2 = 5.97 x 10 -3 M

(7)

(D) [H3O+] = ( Ka x C )1/2

0.0207 = (4.10 x 10-3 x C)1/2

Squaring on both sides

0.000428 = 4.10 x 10-3 X C

C = Initial concentration = 0.102 M (approximation has been taken)
