5. weak bases: more fun stuff! • equilibria & Kb • B(aq)+H2O(l) BH1+ (aq)+OH1-(aq) • examples of N-bases: • the proton attaches to the N lone pair Chapter 15 Notes
questions and calculations: • 1. Ammonia has Kb=1.8x10-5; pyridine has Kb=1.7x10-9; methyl amine has Kb=4.4x10-4. Thus, given 0.010 M solutions of each, • a. pyridine is the strongest base so it has the highest pH. • b. pyridine is the weakest base so it has the highest pH. • c. methyl amine is the strongest base so it has the lowest pH. • d. methyl amine is the strongest base so it has the highest pH. 2. Calculate the pH and the concentration of all equilibrium species in a 0.57 M solution of methylamine. Chapter 15 Notes
questions and calculations: • 3. Consider a solution of sodium acetate • Write down all the predominant species (those species present prior to any reaction). predominant species: Na1+, C2H3O21-, H2O • Look for any possible direct reaction between these species none in this case Chapter 15 Notes
Write down any reactions, including the equilibrium expression and constant, that lead to secondary species, such as the autoionization of water H2OH1++OH1- KW=1x10-14 secondary species: H1+, OH1- • Look for reactions between the predominant and secondary species, and write the equations and the equilibrium expression and constant H1++C2H3O21-HC2H3O2 1/Ka=1/(1.8x10-5) Chapter 15 Notes
Add the two reactions together to get the net reaction; multiply the equilibrium expressions and constants together to the the net equilibrium expression/constant. H2OH1++OH1- KW=1x10-14 H1++C2H3O21-HC2H3O2 1/Ka=1/(1.8x10-5) C2H3O21-+H2OHC2H3O2+OH1- K=KWx(1/Ka)= 5.56x10-5 • in general: Kw=KaxKb Chapter 15 Notes
questions and calculations: 4. Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M solution of sodium phenolate, NaOC6H5; phenol is a weak acid with Ka=1.3x10-10. Chapter 15 Notes
