Pyridine is a weak base that is used in the manufacture of pesticides and plastic resins. It is also a component of cigarette smoke. Pyridine ionizes in water as follows:

C5H5N+H2O⇌C5H5NH++OH−

a) The pKb of pyridine is 8.75. What is the pH of a 0.440 M solution of pyridine?

Benzoic acid is a weak acid that has antimicrobial properties. Its sodium salt, sodium benzoate, is a preservative found in foods, medications, and personal hygiene products. Benzoic acid dissociates in water:

C6H5COOH⇌C6H5COO−+H+

b) The pKa of this reaction is 4.2. In a 0.63 M solution of benzoic acid, what percentage of the molecules are ionized?
