The ammonia gas is absorbed in the concentrated brine to produce aqueous sodium chloride and aqueous ammonia. This ammoniation process is exothermic, so energy is released as heat. The ammonia tower eventually needs to be cooled.
PH of acidic buffer = pKa + log [CH₃COONa - HCl] / [CH₃COOH + HCl]
pKa of CH₃COOH = 4.74
Concentration of acetic acid in buffer = 2.0 M
Concentration of sodium acetate = 1.0 M
Concentration of HCl must add = x
pH = 4.74 + log (1-x) / (2+x) = 4.11
x = concentration of HCl must be added = 0.43 M
number of moles of HCl = M * V = 0.43 * 1 = 0.43 mol
mass of HCl must be added = 0.43 * 36.5 = 15.7 g
Condensation releases water
