Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium - Result Question 118

####62. Calculate the $pH$ of an aqueous solution of $1.0 M$ ammonium formate assuming complete dissociation.

$\left(p K _a\right.$ of formic acid $=3.8$ and $p K _b$ of ammonia $\left.=4.8\right)$

(1995, 2M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. For salts of weak acid and weak base .

$$ pH=7+\frac{1}{2}\left(p K _a-p K _b\right)=7+\frac{1}{2}(3.8-4.8)=6.50 $$
