200 mL of 0.10 M is mixed with 100 mL of 0.10 M HCl, and then 5 mmol of solid NaOH is dissolved in the mixture (no volume change). Given , , , the final pH is

  1. A9.26
  2. B8.78
  3. C9.86
  4. D9.74

Answer: D

NH3 = 20 mmol, HCl = 10 mmol gives NH3 = 10, NH4+ = 10 mmol. NaOH (5 mmol) converts NH4+ to NH3: NH3 = 15, NH4+ = 5 mmol. pOH = ; pH = 9.74.
