Answer:

10.64

Explanation:

Let's consider the basic reaction of cyclohexamine, C₆H₁₁NH₂.

C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻     pKb = 3.36

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ is its conjugate acid, since it donates H⁺ to form C₆H₁₁NH₂. C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ acid reaction is as follows:

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)   pKa

We can find the pKa of C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ using the following expression.

pKa + pKb = 14.00

pKa = 14.00 - pKb = 14.00 - 3.36 = 10.64

As the ph approaches 0, what happens to the concentration of h3o+ ions?
natta225 [31]

We know that

pH = -log[H+]

the pH value falls in between 0- 7 for acids

As the pH value increases the concentration of [H+] increases.

similarly as the value of pH approaches 0, the concentration of H+ increases

The solution said to become more acidic

Also

[H+] X [OH-] = 10^-14

Thus pH + pOH = 14

hence the concentration of OH- decreases as the pH approaches zero
