The hydronium ion concentration of an aqueous solution of 0.546 M triethylamine (a weak base with the formula (C2H5)3N) is ..
(C2H5)3N(aq) + H2O(l) ------------> (C2H5)3NH^+ (aq) + OH^-
I 0.546 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.546-x +x +x
Kb = [(C2H5)3NH^+][OH^-]/[(C2H5)2N]
5.2*10^-4 = x*x/0.546-x
5.2*10^-4 *(0.546-x) = x^2
x = 0.0166
[OH^-] =x = 0.0166M
[H3O^+] = Kw/[OH^-]
= 1*10^-14/0.0166 = 6*10^-13 M >>>>answer
