The reaction is:-
NH3(aq)+H2O(l)→NH4(aq)++OH−
Given concentration of NH3=0.15M
As It ionize 1.1% only So Concentration of NH4+ will be-
[NH4+]=1001.1×0.15=1.65×10−3M
Also, kb=[NH3][NH4+][OH−]
1.8×10−5=.151.65×10−3[OH−]
⇒[OH−]=1.65×10−30.27×10−5=1.63×10−3M
POH=−log([OH−])=−log(1.63×10−3)
=2.79
As we know, PH+POH=14
PH=14−POH=14−2.79=11.21
Hence PH is 11.21.
