Draw the products of the following acid–base reactions:

a. CH3NH3++H2O

b. HBr +CH3OH

c. CH3NH3++ OH-

d.CH3NH2+ CH3OH

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. CH3NH3++H2O⇋CH3NH2 + H3O+

b. HBr +CH3OH⇋CH3OH2+ + +Br-

c. CH3NH3++ OH-⇋CH3NH2+ H2O

d.CH3NH2+ CH3OH⇋CH3NH3+ + +CH3O-

Step by step solution

01

Release of Proton

Stronger acids release proton and forms a conjugate base and bases accepts proton and forms conjugate acid. A positively charged acid become neutral and neutral acid contains negative charge. Like this way negatively charged bases become neutral and neutral bases get positive charge.

02

Products of the Reactions

a. CH3NH3++H2O⇋CH3NH2 + H3O+

Here a proton is released by CH3NH3+ to form CH3NH2 and the same proton is accepted by H2O to form H3O+ H3O+.

b. HBr +CH3OH⇋CH3OH2+ + + Br-

HBr releases a proton to form Br- and accepted by CH3OH to from CH3OH2+

c. CH3NH3++ OH-⇋CH3NH2+ H2O

Here a proton is released by CH3NH2 to form CH3NH2 and OH- accepts the same proton to form H2O.

d.CH3NH2+ CH3OH⇋CH3NH3+ + +CH3O-

Here proton releases by CH3OH to form CH3O- and proton accepted by CH3NH2 to form CH3NH3.

After examining the potential maps for LiH, HF and answer the following question:

  1. Which compounds are polar?
  2. Why does LiH have the largest hydrogen?
  3. Which compound has the hydrogen that would be most apt to attract a negatively charged molecule?

An atom with a formal charge does not necessarily have more or less electron density than the atoms in the molecule without formal charges. We can see this by examining the potential maps for H2O,H30+and OH-.

  1. Which atom bears the formal negative charge in the hydroxide ion?

  2. Which atom has greater electron density in the hydroxide ion?

  3. Which atom bears the formal positive charge in the hydronium ion?

  4. Which atom has the least electron density in the hydronium ion?

Consider the following reaction:

a. What is the acid on the left side of the equation?

b. What is the base on the left side of the equation?

c. What is the conjugate base of the acid on the left?

d. What is the conjugate acid of the base on the left?

e. What is the acid on the right side of the equation?

f. What is the base on the right side of the equation?

g. What is the conjugate base of the acid on the right?

h. What is the conjugate acid of the base on the right?

Tenormin, a member of the group of drugs known as beta-blockers, is used to treat high blood pressure and improve survival after a heart attack. It works by slowing down the heart to reduce its workload. Which atom in Tenormin is the most basic?

You are planning to carry out a reaction that produces protons. The reaction will be buffered at pH = 10.5. Would it be better to use a protonated methylamine/methylamine buffer or a protonated ethylamine/ethylamine buffer? (pKa of protonated methylamine = 10.7; pKaof protonated ethylamine = 11.0)
