Question

A handbook states that the solubility of methylamine ${C H}_{3} {N H}_{2} (g)$ in water at $1$ atm pressure at $25^{o} C$ is $959$ volumes of ${C H}_{3} {N H}_{2} (g)$ per volume of water $(p k_{b} = 3.39)$ .

If the molarity of $N a O H (a q .)$ required to yield the same $p H$ is $125 \times 10^{- x}$ , then what is the value of x?

Solution

$P V = n R T$
$1 \times 0.959 = n \times 0.0821 \times 298$
$n = 0.03919$
Volume of $H_{2} O = 1 m L$ (per volume of $H_{2} O$ )
$C = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.03919}{10^{- 3}} = 39.19 M$
$p k_{b} = 3.39$ $\Rightarrow$ $k_{b} = 4 \times 10^{- 4}$
$[{O H}^{-}] = \sqrt{K_{b} C} = 0.1252 M$
$p O H = 0.9023$
$p H = 13.097$
$M = 0.1252$ or $125 \times 10^{- 3}$ for $N a O H$ will produce same pH.
Hence, the value of $x$ is $3$ .
