What am I doing wrong in this titration problem?
Calculate the ph at the equivalence point for the following titration 0.20M HCl versus 0.20M methylamine (CH3NH2). The Ka of methylammonium is 2.3x10^-11.
First I have to divide .20M methylamine by 2 (Why?) to get .10M
Then, I set up the equilibrium:
(2.3 x 10^-11) = x^2 / .10M
Since the ka is SO small, I just multiplied .10 with (2.3 x 10^-11) to get 2.3x10^-12, which is wrong.
Why is this wrong? Since the Ka is small, the approxiamation method should work and I won't need to do the quadratic. Instead, I am told that the x value is 1.5x10^-6 from the quadratic.

Electric generating plants transport large amounts of hot water
through metal pipes, and oxygen dissolved in the water can cause a
major corrosion problem. Hydrazine (N2H4)
added to the water avoids the problem by reacting with the oxygen:
N2H4(aq) + O2(g)
→ N2(g) + 2 H2O(l)
About 4 x107 kg of hydrazine is produced every year by
reacting ammonia with sodium hypochlorite in the Raschig
process:
2 NH3(aq) + NaOCl(aq) →
N2H4(aq) + NaCl(aq) +
H2O(l) ΔrH° = −151 kJ
(a) If ΔfH° of NaOCl(aq) =
−346 kJ/mol, find ΔfH° of
N2H4(aq) given that
ΔfH° [NH3(aq)] = −80.83
kJ/mol, ΔfH° [NaOCl(aq)] = −346
kJ/mol, ΔfH° [Na+(aq)] =
−239.66 kJ/mol, ΔfH°
[Cl−(aq)] = −167.46 kJ/mol and
ΔfH° [H2O(l)] = −285.840
kJ/mol.
