What fraction of the total ammonia-nitrogen is in volatile

Reference no: EM13298935

Ammonia is a gas whose smell we detect in manure, cleaning products, and other things. The concentration of this noxious gas can be controlled by regulating the pH of the water because only the non-protonated form, NH3, is volatile. The pKa for the reaction shown below is 9.3.

NH4^+ <=>NH3+H^+

What fraction of the total ammonia-nitrogen (NH3 + NH4+) is in the volatile form at pH = 9.0?
