Answer 1

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the pH at of a 0.10 M solution of anilinium chloride $(C_6H_5NH_3Cl)$ . Note that aniline $(C6H5NH2)$ is a weak base with a $pK_b$ of 4.87. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

Answer: The pH of the solution is 5.1

Explanation:

Anilinium chloride is the salt formed by the combination of a weak base (aniline) and a strong acid (HCl).

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=7-\frac{1}{2}[pK_b+\log C]$

where,

$pK_b$ = negative logarithm of weak base which is aniline = 4.87

C = concentration of the salt = 0.10 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=7-\frac{1}{2}[4.87+\log (0.10)]\\\\pH=5.06=5.1$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 5.1
