Answer:
Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]
Explanation:
According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory:
- An acid is a substance that donates H⁺.
- A base is a substance that accepts H⁺.
When methylamine reacts with water, it behaves as a Brönsted-Lowry base, according to the following reaction.
CH₃NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
The basic equilibrium constant (Kb) is:
Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]
As you move around there is a change in: electronegativies, ionisation energies, atomic radius etc. different amounts of these properties are going to effect how the element acts

Answer:
pH = 1.32
Explanation:
H₂M + KOH ------------------------ HM⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
This problem involves a weak diprotic acid which we can solve by realizing they amount to buffer solutions. In the first deprotonation if all the acid is not consumed we will have an equilibrium of a wak acid and its weak conjugate base. Lets see:
So first calculate the moles reacted and produced:
n H₂M = 0.864 g/mol x 1 mol/ 116.072 g = 0.074 mol H₂M
54 mL x 1L / 1000 mL x 0. 0.276 moles/L = 0.015 mol KOH
it is clear that the maleic acid will not be completely consumed, hence treat it as an equilibrium problem of a buffer solution.
moles H₂M left = 0.074 - 0.015 = 0.059
moles HM⁻ produced = 0.015
Using the Henderson - Hasselbach equation to solve for pH:
ph = pKₐ + log ( HM⁻/ HA) = 1.92 + log ( 0.015 / 0.059) = 1.325
Notes: In the HH equation we used the moles of the species since the volume is the same and they will cancel out in the quotient.
For polyprotic acids the second or third deprotonation contribution to the pH when there is still unreacted acid ( Maleic in this case) unreacted.
