Acids and Bases reactions....3 problems
« on: July 20, 2009, 11:35:15 PM »
I need help with these three problems..

1. Methylamine, CH3NH2, is a weak base.

CH3NH2 + H20 ---> <--- (equilibrium sign :P) CH3NH3+ + OH-

If the pH of a 0.0065 M solution of the amine is 11.70, what is the value of Kb?

=================================

2. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration and pH for a 0.015 M solution of sodium formate, NaHCO2.

=================================

3. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration and the pH when 50.0 mL of 0.40M NH3 is mixed with 50.0 mL of 0.40M HCl.


thank you very much if you can help, i appreciate it.

Okay, what do you know about pH? What is it exactly? You know that the pH = -log [H3O+] ? The square brackets just means the concentration. Using this, can you calculate the answer to question number 2? Write a balanced equation for when sodium formate is put into water, what happens?

Check concentration in problem #1. It seems to be 0.065 M
