A chemistry graduate student is given 300. mL of a 0.90M ammonia (NH,) solution. Ammonia is a weak base with K,=1.8 × 10¯°. What mass of NH,Br should the student dissolve in the NH, solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 8.92? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the NH,Br is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.
