Common ion effect
Question

When 0.1 mole of solid NaOH is added in 1 L of 0.1 M NH3(aq) then which statement is going to be wrong ?

Kb = 2 × 10-5, log 2 = 0.3

Moderate
Solution

Before adding 0.1 M NaOH pH  of weak base 0.1M NH3 is

pH=12pkb-log10C=124.7+1=2.85 

When 0.1 M NaOH is added due to common ion effect dissociation of NH3 decreases.

NH3+H2ONH4++OH- Kb=NH4+OH-NH3=0.1OH-0.1+x=2×10-5 x=OH- combining with NH4+ to form ammonia solution in backward direction OH-=2×10-5  since 0.1+x0.1 pOH=4.7 Change in pOH=4.7-2.85=1.85 For a given basic solution change in pOH is also equal to change in pH
