Ammonia, nh3, is a weak base with a kb value of 1.8×10−5. part a what is the ph of a 0.440 m ammonia solution? express your answer numerically to two decimal places. view available hint(s)

Answer is: pH of ammonia solution is 11,43.
Chemical reaction of ammonia in water: NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻.
Kb(NH₃) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.
c₀(NH₃) = 0,44 M = 0,44 mol/L.
c(NH₄⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.
c(NH₃) = 0,44 mol/L - x.
Kb = c(NH₄⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(NH₃).
0,000018 = x² /  (0,4 mol/L - x). 

x²  + 0,000018x - 0,0000072 = 0.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
