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.

______ kJ/mol

b) What is the heat released when aqueous N2H4 is added to 6.00 × 103 L of plant water that is 2.50 × 10−4 mol/L O2? Enter your answer in scientific notation.

____× 10___ kJ
