A chemistry graduate student is given 125.mL of a 0.40M ammonia NH3 solution. Ammonia is a weak base with Kb = 1.8x10−5. What mass of NH4Cl should the student dissolve in the NH3 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 9.03? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when then NH4Cl is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits
