Answer: the concentration of C6H5 NH3 + = 0.031M

Explanation:

From question pH = 5.47

pH+pOH = 14

pOH = 14-5.47 = 8.53

Using the Henderson Hasselbalch equation

pOH = pKb + log (salt/base)

8.53 = 9.13 + log (salt/0.125)

8.53-9.13 = log (salt/0.125)

-0.6 = log (salt/0.125)

Antilog (-0.6) = salt/0.125

0.251 = salt/0.125

Salt conc. = 0.125*0.251=0.031M
