a. Calculate the pH of a 0.26M methylamine solution? (weak base)
b. Consider the following three solutions of equal concentration.
Rank the three solutions from most basic to least basic based on
their Kb: (a) aniline 4.3 x 10-10, (b) methylamine5.0× 10–4, (c) caffeine 4.1 x
10-4.
Solution :-
Part a) Calculating the pH of 0.26 M methylamine
Kb of methyl amine = 5.0*10^-4
Reaction equation with water and ICE table
CH3NH2 + H2O ----- > CH3NH3^+ + OH^-
0.26 M 0 0
-x +x +x
0.26-x x x
Kb=[CH3NH3^+][OH^-]/[CH3NH2]
5.0*10^-4 = [x][x]/[0.26-x]
Since the kb is small therefore we can neglect the x from denominator
5.0*10^-4 = [x][x]/[0.26]
5.0*10^-4 = x^2
1.3*10^-4 = x^2
Taking square root on both sides we get
0.0114 M= x = [OH-]
Now lets calculate the pOH
pOH= -log[OH-]
pOH= -log [0.0114]
pOH= 1.94
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 – pOH
pH= 14 – 1.94
pH= 12.06
part b) given kb values are as follows
aniline = 4.3*10^-10
methylamine = 5.0*10^-4
caffeine = 4.1*10^-4
when the kb value is larger than means it is stronger base and vice versa
so among the given compounds methylamine is having higher kb value, secondly, caffeine has a higher kb value than aniline
so the strongest base to weak base order is as follows
methylamine > caffeine > aniline
