Calculate the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M trimethylamine, (CH3)3N(aq), with 0.1000 M HNO3(aq) after 19.4 mL of the acid have been added. Kb of trimethylamine = 6.5 x 10-5
Correct Answer: |
8.30 ± 0.02 |
millimoles of base = B = 20 x 0.1 = 2
millimoles of H+ = 0.1 x 19.4 = 1.94
B + H+ ---------------------> BH+
2 1.94 0 -------------> I
0.06 0 1.94 ------------> E
pOH = pKb + log [BH+ / B]
pOH = 4.19 + log (1.94 / 0.06)
pOH = 5.70
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 8.30
