Equilibrium and Equivalence Calculation [Very Difficult]

AI Thread Summary
To determine the volume of 0.022M HCl needed to react with ammonia in a 110ml buffer solution, stoichiometry is applied, resulting in a requirement of 120ml of HCl. At the equivalence point, the reaction between NH3 and H+ produces NH4+, and the pH can be calculated based on the resulting concentration of NH4+. The pH at this point is found to be 1.96, indicating a strong acidic environment due to the complete reaction of ammonia. Understanding the stoichiometric relationships and the hydrolysis of NH4+ is essential for accurately calculating the pH at the equivalence point.

Homework Statement


1. What volume of .022M HCl must be added to the 110ml buffer solution to completely react with the ammonia (NH3) to reach equivalence. Then, what is the pH of this at the equivalence point.

Buffer solution (equilibrium): NH3 + H20 ⇌ NH4+ + OH-
Other Info: .045M NH4+ and .024M NH3
and the pH of the buffer is 8.99
Kb NH3 = 1.8 x 10-5 Not sure if this is needed though.

Homework Equations


Molarity = n(moles)/V(volume in L)
pH = -log[H+]
Brackets means the concentration of the substance on the inside.
Not sure what else, I am sure there's some stoichiometry involved.

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm having a lot of trouble with this one.

So I've actually managed to do a bit but I'd really appreciate some help.

I've got the hydrolysis equation:
NH3 + H+ <--> NH4+
__.024M______.022M_______________.045M
__110ml________?ml________________110ml
.00264mol_________________________.00495mol

Do i just use stoichiometry to figure out the missing volume? And the equivalence, how does that play into the problem? Thanks in advance.
 
So I ended up doing some stoichiometry and got 120 ml of HCl required and then calculated the pH to 1.96. Can someone help me out?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
