Solution Summary
I provide a very simple to understand step by step walk-through on how to solve this problem using the Henderson-Hasselbalsch equation.
Solution Preview
We will use the famous Henderson-Hasselbalsch (H-H) equation to solve this problem. Remember, we can always use this equation when we have a simple proton donor/proton acceptor system. In this case, the proton donor is NH4Cl and the proton acceptor is NH3.
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]
Since we know that the Ka of NH4+ is 5.6 x 10^-10, all we ...
