What is the pH of a solution that is 0.456 M in diethylamine (CH3CH2)2NH and 0.547 M in diethylamine chloride (CH3CH2)2NH2Cl?

The Kb for diethylamine is 6.9 x 10-4.

Answer #1

pKb = - logKb

pKb = - log( 6.9 ×10-4) = 3.16

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa of (CH3CH2)2NH2+ = 14 - 3.16 = 10.84

Henderson - Hasselbalch equation which gives pH of a buffer solution

pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])

pH = 10.84 + log ( 0.456M/0.547M)

pH = 10.84 - 0.08

pH = 10.76
