Problem: Use information from Appendix D in the textbook to calculate the pH of the following solutions.Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.080 M in trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, and 0.12 M in trimethylammonium chloride, ((CH3)3NHCl).
FREE Expert Solution
Whenever we have a conjugate acid and a weak base we have a buffer.
When we are dealing with buffers, we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pKb of (CH3)3N is 4.194
Calculate pOH:
pOH = 4.37
