The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equilibrium constant for the ionization of ammonia (NH₃) in water, given the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) and hydrogen ions (H⁺). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the given reaction and its equilibrium constant**: The reaction provided is: \[ \text{NH}_4\text{OH}(aq) + \text{H}^+(aq) \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_4^+(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \] The equilibrium constant (K) for this reaction is given as: \[ K = 1.8 \times 10^9 \] 2. **Write the reverse reaction**: The reverse reaction can be written as: \[ \text{NH}_4^+(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_4\text{OH}(aq) + \text{H}^+(aq) \] The equilibrium constant for this reverse reaction (K') is the reciprocal of K: \[ K' = \frac{1}{K} = \frac{1}{1.8 \times 10^9} \] 3. **Write the second reaction for ionization of ammonia**: The ionization of ammonia in water can be represented as: \[ \text{NH}_3(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_4^+(aq) + \text{OH}^-(aq) \] Let’s denote the equilibrium constant for this reaction as K''. 4. **Relate K'' to K'**: The relationship between K' and K'' can be established by noting that NH₄OH can dissociate into NH₄⁺ and OH⁻. Therefore, we can express K'' in terms of K' and the ion product of water (K_w): \[ K'' = K' \cdot K_w \] where \( K_w \) (the ion product of water) is approximately \( 1 \times 10^{-14} \). 5. **Calculate K''**: Substitute K' and K_w into the equation: \[ K'' = \left(\frac{1}{1.8 \times 10^9}\right) \cdot (1 \times 10^{-14}) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ K'' = \frac{1 \times 10^{-14}}{1.8 \times 10^9} = \frac{1}{1.8} \times 10^{-14 - 9} = \frac{1}{1.8} \times 10^{-23} \] \[ K'' \approx 0.555 \times 10^{-23} \approx 5.55 \times 10^{-24} \] 6. **Convert K'' to the required form**: We need to express K'' in the form \( x \times 10^{-6} \): \[ 5.55 \times 10^{-24} = x \times 10^{-6} \] To convert \( 10^{-24} \) to \( 10^{-6} \), we multiply by \( 10^{-18} \): \[ x = 5.55 \times 10^{-24 + 18} = 5.55 \times 10^{-6} \] 7. **Final value of x**: Since we need to express this as \( x \times 10^{-6} \), we find: \[ x = 5.55 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is approximately **5.55**.
