Solutions

Expert Solution

a)

This is a base in water so, let the base be CH3NH2 = "B" and CH3NH3+ = HB+ the protonated base "HB+"

there are free OH- ions so, expect a basic pH

B + H2O <-> HB+ + OH-

The equilibrium Kb:

Kb = [HB+][OH-]/[B]

initially:

[HB+] = 0

[OH-] = 0

[B] = M

the change

[HB+] = x

[OH-] = x

[B] = - x

in equilibrium

[HB+] = 0 + x

[OH-] = 0 + x

[B] = M - x

Now substitute in Kb

Kb = [HB+][OH-]/[B]

Kb = x*x/(M-x)

x^2 + Kbx - M*Kb = 0

x^2 + (1.8*10^-5)x - (0.5)(1.8*10^-5= 0

solve for x

x = 0.00299

substitute:

[HB+] = 0 + x = 0.00299M

[OH-] = 0 + x = 0.00299M

pH = 14 + pOH = 14 + log(0.00299) = 11.48

b)

pH half way is given by

pH = pKa + log(NH3/NH4+)

pKa = 14 ´Kb = 14-4.25 = 9.25

pH = 9.25+ log(1)

pH = 9.25

c)

V o fHcl required

mmol of base = MV = 40*0.5 = 20

mmol of acid = 20

V acid =mol/M = 20/1 = 20 mL required

d)

pH in equivalence

[NH4+] = 20/(40+20) = 0.33

the next equilibrium is formed, the conjugate acid and water

BH+(aq) + H2O(l) <-> B(aq) + H3O+(aq)

The equilibrium is best described by Ka, the acid constant

Ka by definition since it is an base:

Ka = [H3O][B]/[BH+]

Ka can be calculated as follows:

Ka = Kw/Kb = (10^-14)/(1.8*10^-555) = 5.55*10^-10

get ICE table:

Initially

[H3O+] = 0

[B] = 0

[BH+] = M

the Change

[H3O+] = 0 + x

[B] = 0 + x

[BH+] = -x

in Equilibrium

[H3O+] = 0 + x

[B] = 0 + x

[BH+] = M - x

substitute in Kb expression

Kb = [HA ][OH-]/[A-]

5.55*10^-10 = x*x/(0.333-x)

solve for x

x^2 + Ka*x - M*Ka= 0

solve for x with quadratic equation

x = H3O+ =1.359*10^-5

[H3O+]  =1.359*10^-5

pH = -log([H3O+]) = -log(1.359*10^-5) = 4.87

pH = 4.87
