pH and OH- conc.
« on: November 16, 2011, 06:04:37 PM »
Ammonia is dissolved in water to make 0.01 M NH3(aq). Kb is 1.79 * 10^-7. Calculate hydroxide ion concentration?

As a final solution I got that OH- conc. is 4.14*10^-4, so if anyone could check it?

That's not what I got. Show your working, and your concentration needs units.

Kb is 1.79 * 10^-7
Kb for ammonia is quite different - close to 1.79 * 10^-5
