11.39
Explanation:
Given that:
Given that:
Mass = 1.805 g
Molar mass = 82.0343 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
Given Volume = 55 mL = 0.055 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)
Concentration = 0.4 M
Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of the base as:
B + H₂O ⇄ BH⁺ + OH⁻
At t=0 0.4 - -
At t =equilibrium (0.4-x) x x
The expression for dissociation constant is:
x is very small, so (0.4 - x) ≅ 0.4
Solving for x, we get:
x = 2.4606×10⁻³ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(2.4606×10⁻³) = 2.61
<u>pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.61 = 11.39</u>
