When you titrate 17.2 mL of a 0.14 M solution of (CH3)3N (trimethylamine), it required 17.0 mL of hydrochloric acid solution. Assuming that you have reached the equivalence point, what is the pH of the resulting solution?

Solutions

Expert Solution

at equivalence point, all (CH3)3N is converted to (CH3)3NH+,

             (CH3)3N   +      H3O+       --->    (CH3)3NH+    +    H2O

Initial:          2.408E-3 mol             0                               0

add:                    0                    2.408E-3 mol                 0

change:    -2.408E-3 mol      -2.408E-3 mol          +2.408E-3 mol  

equilibrium:        0                           0                       2.408E-3 mol  

the final concentration of (CH3)3NH+ = 2.408E-3 mol/ (0.017.2 L + 0.017 L) = 0.0704 M

so the only reaction that occurs at equivalence point is the hydrolysis of (CH3)3NH+

          (CH3)3NH+        +   H2O    ----> (CH3)3NH + H3O+

I:      0.0704 M

C:            -X                                                  X                 X

E:   0.0704 M - X                                          X                  X

                   Kaprotonated trimethyl amine = Kw/kb = 1.0E-14 / 6.4E-5 = 1.56E-10

                               Ka = [(CH3)3NH][H3O+] / [(CH3)3NH+]

                               1.56E-10 = x2 / 0.0704 M - X

         since, 0.0704 M/ 1.56E-10 >>>1000, we can neglect x in the denominator

          1.56E-10 = x2 / 0.0704 M

                                              x2 = (1.56E-10)(0.0704 M)

                                               x = 3.313E-6 M

                                       pH = -log 3.313E-6 M = 5.48
