Answer:
1. The pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium (pH = 1.01) is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol (5.00).
2. The difference in pH values is 4.95.
Explanation:
1. The pH of a compound can be found using the following equation:
First, we need to find [H₃O⁺] for trimethyl ammonium and for phenol.
<u>Trimethyl ammonium</u>:
We can calculate [H₃O⁺] using the Ka as follows:
(CH₃)₃NH⁺ + H₂O → (CH₃)₃N + H₃O⁺
1.0 - x x x
By solving the above equation for x we have:
x = 0.097 = [H₃O⁺]
<u>Phenol</u>:
C₆H₅OH + H₂O → C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺
1.0 - x x x
Solving the above equation for x we have:
x = 9.96x10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]
Hence, the pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol.
2. The difference in pH values for the two acids is:
Therefore, the difference in pH values is 4.95.
