Chapter 9: Q8P (page 208)

Find theand concentrations of ${({CH}_{3})}_{3} N$ and ${({CH}_{3})}_{3} {NH}^{+}$ in $0.060 M$ trimethylammonium chloride.

Short Answer

Expert verified

$pH = 5.51$

Concentration of

$[{({CH}_{3})}_{2} N] = [H^{+}] = 3.09 \times 10^{- 0} [{({CH}_{3})}_{2} {NH}^{+}] = 0.060 M$

Step by step solution

Step: Definition of pH

pH is defined as a quantitative measure of acidity and basicity. Compounds having pH more than 7 is acidic in nature while pH when shown above than 7 is basic in nature. When pH comes 7 , compound is said to be neutral.

Step: Consider the reaction of disassociation.

${({CH}_{3})}_{3} {NH}^{+} \overset{}{⇌} {({CH}_{3})}_{3} N + H^{+} [{({CH}_{3})}_{3} {NH}^{+}] = 0.060 - x [{({CH}_{3})}_{3} N] = [H^{+}] = x$

The value of $K_{a} = 1.59 \times 10^{- 10}$

Calculate x value.

The value of x can be calculated as follows:

$K_{a} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.060 - x} pH = - \log [H^{+}] = - \log (3.09 \times 10^{- 6}) = 5.51$

Calculate pH

$pH = - \log [H^{+}] = - \log (3.09 \times 10^{- 6}) = 5.51$

Concentration of [CH33 NH+].

$[{({CH}_{3})}_{3} {NH}^{+}] = 0.060 - x [{({CH}_{3})}_{3} {NH}^{+}] = 0.060 - (3.09 \times 10^{- 6}) [{({CH}_{3})}_{3} {NH}^{+}] = 0.060 M$
