40mL, 0.1M ammonia solution is mixed with 20mL0.1MHCl , what is the pH of mixture ?(pKa of NH3 solution =4.74)
Now, what I did was as follows:-
First of all I calculated the [OH−] obtained from the ammonia solution. Which i did as follows
NH3+H2O⇋NH4++OH−c00c−cαcαcα
From above we can conclude that [OH−]=Kbc (We get Kb from the relation Kb+Kc=14)
The explanation is getting bigger so i will cut to the chase.
After obtaining the [OH−], I found the moles of OH− and subtracted it from the moles of H+ and the and found the conc. of H+, then the -ve logarithm.
But the book gives a different answer from what i got. So if anything that i did wrong or left somewhere could you point it out
This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Your equilibrium condition is not considering HCl. The equilibrium shifts much more to the right to produce hydroxide ions in presence of the acidic HCl.
This solution acts as a buffer solution.

@Rishabh Cool. If you can also look into this one please.
