Question

A handbook states that the solubility of methylamine CH3NH2(g) in water at 1 atm pressure at 25oC is 959 volumes of CH3NH2(g) per volume of water (pkb=3.39).

If the molarity of NaOH(aq.) required to yield the same pH is 125×10x, then what is the value of x?

Solution

PV=nRT
1×0.959=n×0.0821×298
n=0.03919
Volume of H2O=1 mL (per volume of H2O)
C=nV=0.03919103=39.19M
pkb=3.39 kb=4×104
[OH]=KbC=0.1252M
pOH=0.9023
pH=13.097
M=0.1252 or 125×103 for NaOH will produce same pH.
Hence, the value of x is 3.
